[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
