Ever Be True

words & music by Nate Shelkey

I know you’re waiting
on the dark side of town
where twenty year old girls
shouldn’t be walking around
but you had to catch the bus
cause the train was too much
so that’s why you stayed until dark
But you always had the world on a string
So you never even counted
Me to clip your wings
(I said) Me to clip your wings

You know you’ll never see what I see
If you lost what I found,
you’d see what I mean
If you lost what I found,
you’d see what I mean
I know you’ll never see what I see,
(what I see)

‘Cause you won’t ever be true
You won’t ever be true
You won’t ever be true(to me)

So while you’re waiting
on the dark side of town
Are you thinking of me
when you’re feeling down?
Well let me cut your thoughts short,
don’t even call
Do you really think I’d give you a ride,
were you asleep through it all?

‘Cause you always had
the world on a string
So you never even counted
me to clip your wings
(me to clip your wings)

I know you can’t ever see what I see
If you lost what I found,
you’d see what I mean
If you lost what I found,
you’d see what I mean
I know you can’t ever
see what I see(see what I see)
‘Cause you won’t ever be true
You won’t ever be true
You won’t ever be true(to me)

So I don’t feel bad,
I don’t stay up at night
No cold sweats, no nightmares
No sleeping with the light
‘Cause I know the reason
it didn’t work out wasn’t me.
‘Cause I could be trusted,
you can lay your head on me
(lay your head)

You always had the world on a string
You never even counted on
me to clip your wings
(me to clip your wings)

I know you won’t ever see what I see
If you lost what I found,
you’d see what I mean
If you lost what I found,
you’d see what I mean
You know you can’t ever
see what I see(see what I see)

‘Cause you won’t ever be true
You won’t ever be true
You won’t ever be true(to me)

I hope you’re still waiting
on the dark side of town.
