Mark Oliver Everett - A Good Deal lyrics

[Verse 1]: My plan to play it cool Has not been going well I have such a hard time Keeping the anger hidden I've run it through my head A dozen times or more And each time it ends with me Not acting as I did [Chorus 1]: A grievous oversight that I cannot erase You couldn't know where to take it to And none of it matters now, however I appeal All of it's gone, I've missed a good deal [Verse 2]: You disappointed me In ways I cannot count But you were the best thing To happen to me And that is no reason to Forget all that you've done I couldn't expect you to Give credence to my plea [Chorus 2]: A grievous oversight that I cannot erase You couldn't know where to take it to And none of it matters now, however I may feel All of it's gone, I've missed a good deal [Bridge]: An effortless beauty I had not come across It's a heavy loss And now it's my cross To bear forever more I can be sure [Outro]: And nothing else matters now, whatever I reveal All of it's gone, I've missed a good deal
