Lyrics Unnecessary Drama - Belle and Sebastian

I read your letter from before
You've been having so much fun
And is it possible you're just telling me
To draw me in?

There's an array of douchebags lining up
To play their stupid parts
And did you ever pause
Before you gave your love away?

And this is my life
This is my so-called life
But this is my life
And this is my only life

And when you came to me that summer
You were just a shell
But you were holding close to mother
She was ashen with the strain

And therе was miles to go yet
Miles to build that sistеr loving bond
And then I figured that the music
Set your soul ablaze

And it's probably not surprising (and this is my life)
That you're buring through the days
And if i had a second encore (and this is my life)
I would probably do the same
And if the intimacy ever stops (and this is my life)
I'll miss your stories, miss your letters (this is my so-called life, but this is my life)
Ever awkward fumble should be framed (this is my only life)

Strange days
Poison characters
My particular haze
Please send

Enjoy the fervor of your love life
'Cause it doesn't last
And with a suddenness that is cruel
Everything can go to hell

But then you find a new path
Leave the old path, leave the games behind
And on a morning climb you see the grime
And feel amazed

I know you felt you gave your best
But it was never going to do
There's always gonna be a younger
Hungry idol coming through
I know it wasn't thrilling, just like living
You and me could talk like kissing
Every conversation was divine

This is my life
This is my so-called life
This is my life
This is my only life

And this is my life
This is my so-called life
This is my life
This is my only life

And this is my life
This is my so-called life
This is my life
This is my only life

And this is my life
And this is my so-called life
This is my life
And this is my only life
