Koethe Postscript Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Build me up just to tear me back down
Still the only thing I need now
A not so picture-perfect moment I've found
In the pieces that cannot last
In your future and in your past

[Chorus]
I'm not the one who's selfless
I am the one who's vain
I'm not the one who's willing to throw this all away
I'll be your stormless shelter on all of your rainy days
I'm not the one who's leaving
I'll be the one who stays with you

[Verse 2]
All the reasons and memories
So much better than I could be
Forced between this and faced with you
There's no question to what I'd do

[Chorus]
I'm not the one who's selfless
I am the one who's vain
I'm not the one who's willing to throw this all away I'll be your stormless shelter on all of your rainy days
I'm not the one who's leaving
I'll be the one who stays here

[Bridge]
You, just for you
I can't do what I should
And I can't take it back
I would not if I could
You, just for you
I can't do what I should
And I can't take it back
I would not if I could
You, just for you
I can't do what I should
And I can't take you back
I would not if I could

[Outro]
I'm not the one who's selfless
I am the one who's vain
I'm not the one who's willing to throw this all away
I'll be your stormless shelter when all but the price is paid
I'm not the one who's leaving
I'll be the one who stays here, who stays here
