Bag of Marbles lyrics

by Destroy the Runner

Give me one reason and I’ll give you more
It seems I’m not what she was looking for
I was waiting for something
I found out that it’s nothing

Never act that way
(and then let’s talk about growing old)
Never say those things boy
(and forget all that you know)
You will love this pain
(You’ve got nowhere to go)
and you will play her games
and do what you’re told

I’m happy with or without you
You make your choices
And become what you choose
Break an organ that’s mended
And fake who you’re in love with

Never act that way
(and then let’s talk about growing old)
Never say those things boy
(and forget all that you know)
You will love this pain
(You’ve got nowhere to go)
and you will play her games
and do what you’re told

Tell me that “Distance is why we fight
Though you’re not like other guys
Everything that I say is right”
Tell me that “I hate and I envy your God
Life is a meaningless song.
Hope and true love all have gone”

I’ll never act that way
(and then let’s talk about growing old)
I’ll never play your games girl
(I am letting go)
You’re not what I need
(Now I really see)
and you are what I leave
I have never felt this free
