Last Blues - La Dispute

«My precious wife

I am in shambles

I am crumbling

I am

Was it something I did

Bid the tide

To climb so high

That it ripped our shore up?

I can fix it

I swear

If you trust me

I am old

And I am rusting

But I care

I care"

«My precious wife

We made a promise

Pledged our flesh

To be one

How can you

Doubt a love that

Stood so proud

As we raised our children?

I believe in

It still

It has faltered

And it is failing

But I know

It’s there

It’s there

And how it changed?

The way you thought of me?

How strange to think

We once were lovers

Now we’ve wrapped the

Past up in broken glass

And when you

Speak my name you shudder

My precious wife

Believe I’ll save this

I’ll revive it

I will

We built a family

From this marriage

Why would you tear it apart?"

«Speak now, precious

Your silence screams

You’re giving in to your failures

Hear me

That promise

That you made

Was meant to keep

Forever

Until we die

You’re not allowed to change your mind"

«Oh, husband

I could

Not control it

Husband

I could not abstain

One cannot

Stop the wind from blowing

Nor refuse the falling rain

Love stirred up a

Storm inside me

Wrapped its arms around my waist

I failed you

Dear, I’m sorry

Oh, I’m sorry

But there was

Nothing I could do

No, there was

Nothing I could do

Sure as the rain will fall

Some love just fails"

There was nothing I could do

There was nothing I could do

There was nothing I could do

There was nothing I could do
