After All This Songtext

von Jay Brannan

You're a beautiful man
Was cool to hold you
Thought i could have you
Boy was i wrong
It was a dirty plan
It's time someone told you
You don't hold the world
In the palm of your hand
It must feel freaky to be so sneaky
I guess you thought i'd never know
The one you loved had split, and he kind liked my shit
So you booked yourself a private show
I know i'm nothing special
I've never been the best
But there are thoughts in my head
And a thump in my chest
I'm a little embarrassed
Is this part of your plan
I'm not a cardboard cutout
Just a lonely man
Whose heart is achin'
You're the reason why
So after all this
Did you at least get your guy?
We had a few good laughs
Talked for awhile and
Walked round the island
Hands intertwined
I also lied to you
Said i liked your tattoo
I was only tryin'
To be kind
You rose up from the east and set into a jest
It was joking at its worst and trickery at best
Now i have come to see the big punchline was me
Your magic carpet just a vehicle for jealousy
I know i'm nothing special
I've never been the best
But there are thoughts in my head
And a thump in my chest
I'm a little embarrassed
Is this part of your plan
I'm not a cardboard cutout
Just a lonely man
Whose heart is achin'
You're the reason why
So after all this
Did you at least get your guy?
I know i'm nothing special
I've never been the best
But there are thoughts in my head
And a thump in my chest
I'm a little embarrassed
Is this part of your plan
I'm not a cardboard cutout
Just a lonely man
Whose heart is achin'
You're the reason why
So after all this
Did you at least get your guy?
