Father John Misty - The Songwriter Lyrics
[Verse 1]What would it sound like if you were the songwriterAnd you made your living off of meWould you detail your near-constant consternationOr the way my very presence makes your muses up and flee[Chorus]Goodbye, little songbird, I can leaveGoodbye, my love, is there anything else you need?[Verse 2]What would it sound like if you were the songwriterAnd you did your living around me?Would you undress me repeatedly in publicTo show how very noble and ***** you can be?[Chorus]Goodbye, little songbird, now you're freeDon't forget I'm the only fan of yours who has the sense to ever leave you beHow could you do this to me?[Verse 3]What would it sound like if you were the songwriterAnd loving me was your unsung masterpiece?
