Grace Petrie - Why Bob Dylan Sang
12
Copied!
Well once i met a girl who had my measure from the start
She tied me up in knots and then she tore me clean apart
And i laid with her for years and years, but i never knew her heart for all i tried
And the life we had was fiction, but it was a lie she told me well
Advertising heaven as the price you pay for hell
And i tried to make her feel my love long before adele, oh how i tried
And we put zimmerman on spotify and listened as he told
About how he gave that girl his heart, but she wanted his soul
And i never understood that line, it didn't make no sense
But when she went
I saw what bob dylan meant
And once i knew a woman who broke just like a little girl
Took our love and built with it a perfect little world
And i still look back every day and wonder why it didn't work for all we tried
And we gave it every inch of us and every ounce of love
But even dylan knows that sometimes love just ain't enough
And baby tangled up in blue is all we ever ended up for all we tried
But i think i could have loved her 'til i knocked on heavens door
And she'll always be the one who gives me shelter from the storm
But you know, in the end it ain't me babe she was looking for and i saw
What bob dylan thought
What bob dylan thought yeah
And every break of every heart is just the start of some new art
So when you build yourself together out of broken shattered parts
Just remember that for every scar you took on a bad day
You know you'll always be somebody else's one that got away
Yeah you're changing and you're growing even if you don't quite know it
And every tear is worth its salt yeah if it makes of you a poet
So be grateful for the ones who blew away your best-laid plans
Through those lovers you discovered with each touch of trembling hands you understand
