Dan Mangan - No Tragedy Pleas lyrics
[Dan Mangan - No Tragedy Pleas lyrics]
What can break me has a name
So when I’m calm and feeling rested
There’s still a devil at the gate
And I have learned that if I let it
It will coax my ease away
So maybe too many things really matter to me?
And maybe loss just affirms
The value of everything?
Maybe love is a curse and
We’ll never be free?
Maybe there in the sting
Lies the real poetry?
Just no tragedy please, just
No tragedy please
If I could read what the cards tell
Could I live with what they say?
Or would I just sit
There shuffling and re-shuffling
Try to fix the deck my way
What is this long and painful process?
Learn to leave things as they lay
So maybe too many things really matter to me?
And maybe loss just affirms
The value of everything?
Maybe love is a curse and
We’ll never be free?
Maybe there in the sting
Lies the real poetry?
Just no tragedy please, just
No tragedy please
There’s nothing more that I need
Just no tragedy
