La Dispute - Last Blues For Bloody Knuckles lyrics

rate me

My precious wife, I am in shambles<br />

I am crumbling, I am<br />

Was it something I did<br />

Bid the tide to climb so high that it ripped our shore up<br />

I can fix it, I swear<br />

If you trust me<br />

I am old and I am rusting but I care<br />

I care<br />

<br />

My precious wife, we made a promise<br />

Pledged our flesh to be one<br />

How can you doubt a love that stood so proud as we raised our children<br />

I believe in it still<br />

It has faltered and it has faded<br />

But I know it's there<br />

How'd it change<br />

The way you thought of me<br />

How strange to think we once were lovers<br />

Now we've wrapped the past up in broken glass<br />

And when you speak my name you shudder<br />

Oh precious wife, believe I'll save this<br />

I'll revive it, I will<br />

We've built a family from this marriage<br />

Why would you tear it apart<br />

<br />

Oh speak now, precious<br />

Your silence screams<br />

You're giving in to failure<br />

Hear me, the promise that you made was meant to live forever<br />

Until our deathbed, you're not allowed to change your mind<br />

Was there nothing in that promise<br />

Are you listening to me<br />

<br />

Oh husband, I could not control it<br />

Husband, I could not abstain<br />

One cannot stop the wind from blowing<br />

Nor refuse the falling rain<br />

Love stirred up a storm inside me<br />

Wrapped it's arms around my waist<br />

I failed you dear, I'm sorry, oh I'm sorry<br />

There was nothing I could do<br />

No, there was nothing I could<br />

Sure as the rain will fall<br />

Some love just fails without reason<br />

There is nothing you can do<br />

There is nothing you can do<br />

There is nothing you can do<br />

There is nothing you can do
