Mewithoutyou - Silencer lyrics

rate me

Don't waste your lips on words I've heard before <br />

Kiss my tired head. <br />

And each letter written wastes your hand, young man <br />

Come and lead me to your bed <br />

You gave me hope that I'd not lost her <br />

And then thought it rather strange to see me smile- <br />

As I don't do too much smiling these days. <br />

<br />

She put on happiness like a loose dress <br />

Over pain I'll never know <br />

"So the peace you had," she said,<br />

"I must confess, I'm glad to see it go." <br />

We're two white roses lying frozen just outside his door <br />

I've made you so happy and so sad, <br />

But which should I be more sorry for? <br />

<br />

Come kiss my face goodbye,<br />

That space below my eye and above my cheek <br />

Cause I'm faint and fading fast, I see a darkness <br />

And I shall be released. <br />

I'll pass like a fever from this body, <br />

And softly slip into his hands <br />

I tried to love you and I failed, <br />

But I have another plan. <br />

<br />

How long, My Lord, how long to sing this song? <br />

And my Lord, how muchmore of this pretending to be strong? <br />

When she stands before your throne <br />

Dressed in beauty not her own <br />

All soft and small, you'll hear her call <br />

"you brought me here, now take me home."
