I take a walk in velvet skies    You shoot me down within your mind   Ain't that the story?   Ain't that the way it goes?      A candy smile, a twist of fate   A bed of nails on which I lay   Ain't that the story?   Ain't that the way it goes?      Chorus:   They don't know the pain I've gone through   They can't see   They don't know the pain I've gone through   They can't see me for what I've come to be   For what I've come to be      Remembering the tales you've told   They don't exactly fit the mold   Ain't that the story?   Ain't that the way it goes?      There's more to life than what you see   So take a walk, confide in me   Ain't that the story?   Ain't that the way it goes?      Chorus (Repeat)
