Aimee Mann - That's How I Knew This Story Would Break My Heart

I drew a picture of you

You and your anchor tattoo

And saw the face that I knew

Covered in shame

You drew a bird that was here

A kind of sweet chanticleer

But with a terrible fear

That the cage couldn't tame



That's how I knew this story would break my heart

When you wrote it

That's how I knew this story would break my heart



So, like a ghost in the snow

I'm getting ready to go

'Cause baby, that's all I know –

How to open the door

And though the exit is crude

It saves me coming unglued

For when you're not in the mood

For the gloves and the canvas floor



That's how I knew this story would break my heart

When you wrote it

That's how I knew this story would break my heart



That's how I knew this story would break my heart

When you wrote it

That's how I knew this story would break my heart
