North Star - Magnolia Electric Co.

You used to say i had what it takes

I think i did if you meant too little too late

I can tell by the looks that i’m gettin'

I made some big mistakes

And i thought you said i was great

Shoot straight and give it my best try

I made my heart as hard as nails

That may be the way you live your life

But it’s almost got me killed

Darling i’m not giving in

That happened miles ago

I heard the north star saying

Kid you’re so lost even i can’t bring you home

Did you think that we were going to last

Honey you know you don’t have to answer that

Half of that was my kind of joke

I don’t remember which half

I didn’t know how blue i’d get

I didn’t know how i’d get blamed for it

I didn’t choose to go down this road

No one chooses to be sick

I’m saying everything is fine

By the look in my eye

But you know darling

Half of what a man says is a lie

It’s your last chance to forget me now

That it’s done for good

You always said i’d make it out

Somehow darling i knew i never would
