Jake Brewer - Short version of a longer story

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1676847
You hated the ivy that grew on your family’s Brooklyn home
You swore we’d get a new place but I thought it’s where we'd grow old

Bandaged all your wounds just to leave mine exposed
But you drove your knife where you knew it would hurt the most

But you took it as precedent
That I was doing the saving
But while you stay afloat
Did you see me drowning?

Airing out our laundry in all of it’s glory
Secrets can’t be kept when your love is predatory
Empty are the crates marked for her eyes only
It’s only fair for me to share
The short version of a longer story
A longer story

What was I scared of, was it falling in love or not?
'Cause you can’t hide an affair that’s already done

Your smile is a poison And I'm drinking all of it Just to feel something Words sound so sweet When they’re coming from you And I'll let you say what you want

Jake Brewer - Pilot
(VERSE 1) I thought I knew it all until I fell Picked up all the pieces I knew so well I thought I needed to be fixed But you could love all the pieces I am (CHORUS)

Jake Brewer - Soaring
{VERSE 1} I hope you think I'm strong But I can’t win the war 'Cause this fight's not a fight I can fight anymore I miss you when I’m not around

Jake Brewer - Loverboy
{VERSE 1} She moved down to the lower east side Left her parents to take control of life She likes to say that I’m her favorite guy But I know she’s destined to think

Jake Brewer - What it all could have been
{VERSE 1} How do you define a lifetime Is it hours or just a feeling ‘Cause lately I've been lonely since you left But silence isn’t haunting when you have no
