Susanne Sundfør - Bedtime Story lyrics

Because you never meant it when
You said that it’s alright
Because it wasn’t really ever what
I had in mind
The damages are clear he takes the pain
I take the fear
Oh, what’s the devil but a good negotiator?

Because I always meant it when I
Said it would go wrong
Because I always thought my life
Would be a sad song the future’s conveyed
You know the chord before it’s played
Oh, what am I but a bad story teller?

And when the nights are cold and strange
And all the birds are gone
And all the oil’s been spilt
And left us on this Earth alone
I'll think about the time you
Reassured me you were mine
Oh, what is love but
A frail little dreamcatcher?
