"A Good Deal" lyrics - EELS

My plan to play it cool has not been going well
I have such a hard time keeping the anger hidden
I've run it through my head a dozen times or more
And each time it ends with me not acting as I did.

A grievous oversight that I cannot erase
You couldn't know where to take it to
And none of it matters now however I appeal
All of it's gone, I've missed a good deal.

You disappointed me in ways I cannot count
But you were the best thing to happen to me
And that is no reason to forget all that you've done
I couldn't expect you to give credence to my plea.

A grievous oversight that I cannot erase
You couldn't know where to take it to
And none of it matters now however I may feel
All of it's gone, I've missed a good deal.

An effortless beauty I had not come across
It's a heavy loss and now it's my cross to bear forever more, I can be sure.

And nothing else matters now whatever I reveal
All of it's gone, I've missed a good deal.
