Jay Brannan - String-A-Long Song
To the boy who should have loved me
From the boy you could've had
I promised not to send this letter
I wouldn't want you to feel bad
For not opening your heart to me
For your unavailability
I guess you're not required to like me
But did you fake it just to spite me
Well here's a little String-a-long song for you
Just give up your pride your past your pain your fear of intimacy
And string-a-long with me too
Thanks for leading me on
But this time I'm gonna be strong--
Although your disinterest kind of came as a surprise cause
You could see the sin and the sadness
And taste the gin and the madness
On my lips and in my eyes well
I can't help that I wanna see you again
But it takes two to start a string-a-long song
And only one to make it end
Well the Flake Syndrome is an epidemic
That spans the globe from town to town
But I can't figure out why you put forth such an effort
To win me over just to turn me down
Cause your words are so soft and sweet
But your actions are screaming
And if you see me waiting around for you
I hope you also see you're dreaming
Well here's a little String-a-long song for you
Just give up your pride your past your pain your fear of intimacy
And string-a-long with me too
Thanks for leading me on
But this time I'm gonna be strong--
Although your disinterest kind of came as a surprise cause
You could see the sin and the sadness
And taste the gin and the madness
On my lips and in my eyes well
I can't help that I wanna see you again
But it takes two to start a string-a-long song
And only one to make it end
I know he'll break my heart
I know I'll fall apart And
I know because this is how it starts
Maybe it's wrong of me
To wish that we could be
But your kiss matched mine
So perfectly
Well here's a little String-a-long song for you
Just give up your pride your past your pain your fear of intimacy
And string-a-long with me too
Thanks for leading me on
But this time I'm gonna be strong--
I wish you weren't too scared to speak your goodbyes cause
The truth is I wish you well thanks for saving me from hell
I owe you one of the few I got left of my nine lives
Well I can't help that I wanna see you again
But it takes two to start a string-a-long song
And only one to make it end
