Belle and Sebastian
Unnecessary Drama
[Verse 1]
I read your letter from before, you've been having so much fun
And is it possible you're just telling me to draw me in?
There's an array of douchebags lining up to play their stupid parts
And did you ever pause before you gave your love away?

[Chorus 1]
And this is my life
This is my so-called life
This is my life
And this is my only life

[Verse 2]
And when you came to me that summer, you were just a shell
But you were holding close to mother, she was ashen with the strain
And therе was miles to go yet, miles to build that sistеr loving bond
And then I figured that the music set your soul ablaze

[Chorus 2]
(And this is my life)
And it's probably not surprising that you're burning through the days
(And this is my life)
And if I had a second encore, I would probably do the same
(And this is my life)
And if the intimacy ever stops (This is my so-called life)
I'll miss your stories, miss your letters
(This is my so-called life, and this is my life)
Ever awkward fumble should be framed
(This is my only life)
[Bridge]
Strange day
Poison characters
My particular haze
Please send

[Verse 3]
Enjoy the fervor of your love life, 'cause it doesn't last
And with a suddenness that is cruel, everything can go to hell
But then you find a new path, leave the old path, leave the games behind
And on a morning climb, you see the grime and feel amazed

[Chorus 3]
I know you felt you gave your best, but it was never going to do
There's always going to be a younger hungry idol coming through
I know it wasn't thrilling, just like living
You and me could talk like kissing
Every conversation was divine

[Chorus 1]
And this is my life
This is my so-called life
This is my life
And this is my only life
And this is my life
This is my so-called life
This is my life
And this is my only life
And this is my life
This is my so-called life
This is my life
And this is my only life
And this is my life
This is my so-called life
This is my life
And this is my only life
