Jolie Holland - Wreckage lyrics

rate me

If disappointment was like a drug

I overdosed again

I can't take the razor-sharp edge

Off your crooked grin

I lost the war - I lost it all

And I can't get it back again

I can't set you right when you

Go into a spin - All I can do

Is survey the wreckage from here

There you were in silk and fur

So very fine to behold and I was

Hanging on to your every word and

Hoping for something more

Then you took my fondest wish

And twisted it into a cord

And how here I hang - strung up

By my hope for something more

You know that I really loved you

And I loved you first?

You know I'd take what you'd given and

You could do your worst

Your worst

If disappointment was like a drug

I overdosed again

I can't take the razor-sharp edge

Off your crooked grin

I lost the war - I lost it all

And I can't get it back again

I can't set you right when you

Go into a spin - All I can do

Is survey the wreckage from here
