Wilco - Story To Tell Lyrics

I've been through hell

On my way to hell

I only fought with myself

So I'd have a story to tell



Once, I cut off my arm

I sewed it back on all wrong

Now I don't have to bend

To reach the bottom shelf

When I need a story to tell



The world is always on the brink

And love is dumber than you think

Singing songs of death and doom

With all the voices inside of you



Once I started a war

But I don't fight anymore

I held the line until the old oak fell

I was left behind

With a story to tell



The world is always on the brink

Hearts are smarter than you think

Writing songs of death and doom

For all the voices inside of you



Once I looked you in the eye

And I told you lies

How I wish I could have treated you well

I wish I had more than a story to tell



The world is always on the brink

Love is dumber than you think

Singing songs of death and doom

With all the voices inside of you



I've been through hell

On my way to hell

I only fought with myself

So I'd have a story to tell
