Cassie probably doesn't remember this at all.
We rarely remember our offhand comments that sometimes change another person's life.
That scares the shit out of me.
lyrics
D G D G D G Bm E (2x)
Cassie do you remember those four boys singing songs
I won't forget what you said when they'd gone
How it was just such a shame although their voices were great
They were just too damn ugly to take home
Bm D Bm D EmwF# A7 G
But it's alright cause we can't fight the features we're left with even if they're shit
D G D G D G Bm E (2x)
Cassie I sang my songs and some people said I was great
don't give up or quit trying I'd catch a break
Oddly I thought just of you that maybe I'm ugly too
Some compliments end with guitars made of ash
Bm D Bm D EmwF# A7 G
But it's alright cause we can't fight the features we're left with even if they're shit
D G D G D G Bm E (2x) – (Instrumental) -
D G D G D G Bm E (2x)
I wanted to be lifelike I wanted to be free
I wanted to be anyone but me
Can't help but think we're the same that we're all crippled by fate
Beauty's a burden I'm so glad I'm without
Bm D Bm D EmwF# A7 G
So it's alright cause we can't fight the features we're left with even if they're shit
D G D G D G Bm E (2x) – (Instrumental) -
