Short Straw Lyrics
I'm guessing it was too hard
To juggle the both of us
You could only ever focus on one
And I got the short straw
And it got shorter as time went
And with the time I went
But it was never us, just you and me
We didn't own one another
You said that right from the start
And I brushed it off
Only to find it found its way
Back to my heart
Heart
See, I didn't need you
Like you needed me
Except now all you need is eyes to see
The mess you've made
The price you've paid
And the bed you've laid
It's too much, and now you're in debt
But it was never us, just you and me
We didn't own one another
You said that right from the start
And I brushed it off
Only to find it found its way
Back to my heart
Heart
To juggle the both of us
You could only ever focus on one
And I got the short straw
And it got shorter as time went
And with the time I went
We didn't own one another
You said that right from the start
And I brushed it off
Only to find it found its way
Back to my heart
Heart
Like you needed me
Except now all you need is eyes to see
The mess you've made
The price you've paid
And the bed you've laid
It's too much, and now you're in debt
We didn't own one another
You said that right from the start
And I brushed it off
Only to find it found its way
Back to my heart
Heart
