Jon Brion - Song for Caden lyrics

[Intro] I'm singing this song, but it's about you Whoever else is listening, it's only about you See there's just one story, and everyone's the star And it goes like this No one will ever love you for everything you are [Interlude] [Verse] And so you build up layers of deception And you leave out things to alter the perceptions Of the ones you love, who would never love you back If they knew all about you, every solitary fact And the sadness of your life is built upon this lack Of really knowing anyone or having them know you It's the sadness of the world, there's nothing left to do And so just go to sleep, just let the hours pa** Sleep it all away, none of it will last Soon it's all over, you're under clover And none of it matters anymore
