I've come here as a man in shambles
|
||
|
|
Worn out from begging on my knees
|
||
|
|
Please, I'm just trying to keep my family together
|
||
|
|
Now when you saw your lover
|
||
|
|
Wore a ring around her finger
|
||
|
|
Why didn't you stop?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have half a mind to make you hurt
|
||
|
|
To make you bleed, to make you suffer
|
||
|
|
I swear, if you've touched her
|
||
|
|
Oh heaven, forgive what I would do
|
||
|
|
To you, you monster
|
||
|
|
Think about your children
|
||
|
|
They'll never believe what you've done
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Listen, I am begging you
|
||
|
|
Back off
|
||
|
|
Let me rebuild all the things that you shattered
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
She meant it
|
||
|
|
I swear that she meant it
|
||
|
|
She whispered so often
|
||
|
|
"Husband, I'll always be here with you"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Always
|
||
|
|
Always
|
||
|
|
Always
|
||
|
|
Always
|
||
|
|
Always
|
||
|
|
Always
|
||
|
|
Always is valueless
|
||
|
|
I wish I'd never heard her speak a word
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And I hope you see us
|
||
|
|
Your wife and your children and I
|
||
|
|
Buried in the wreckage of your crime
|
||
|
|
While you're laying down your sins
|
||
|
|
Softly leaning in to kiss your guilt goodnight
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
She is mine, she is, she is mine
|
||
|
|
You stole her, somehow tricked her but
|
||
|
|
We'll survive, we will, we'll survive
|
||
|
|
She loves me dearly, you'll see, she
|
||
|
|
You are blind, you are, you are blind
|
||
|
|
She loves me, dearly loves me, she
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Breathe in, breathe in
|
||
|
|
Breathe in, breathe in
|
||
|
|
Breathe in, breathe in
|
||
|
|
Breathe in, breathe in
|
||
|
|
Breathe in, breathe in
|
||
|
|
Breathe in, breathe in
|
||
|
|
Breathe
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
He finally paused to take a breath
|
||
|
|
Then looked down
|
||
|
|
It felt like staring into hell
|
||
|
|
The man was seated in a chair
|
||
|
|
Before him, silent
|
||
|
|
A statue framed in pain and flesh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
He thought, "Oh, what more can I say
|
||
|
|
To sway him?
|
||
|
|
To make this statue speak?
|
||
|
|
I swear he's made of stone and I
|
||
|
|
Am barely stirring up a breeze"
|
||
|
|
I'm barely stirring up a breeze
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And after waiting
|
||
|
|
In this silence, finally
|
||
|
|
He finally turned around to leave
|
||
|
|
Broken and barely through the doorway
|
||
|
|
Breathing slowly
|
||
|
|
Beating hard, he heard him
|
||
|
|
Speak
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"I guess love's a funny thing
|
||
|
|
The way it fades away without a warning
|
||
|
|
It doesn't ask to be excused
|
||
|
|
And when it's gone, oh, it's gone
|
||
|
|
And it ain't ever comin' back
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is nothing you can do to save it
|
||
|
|
To make it breathe the way it did
|
||
|
|
When you were sliding on the ring
|
||
|
|
Trust me, it's gone for
|
||
|
|
Good
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now there is nothing you can do to stop me
|
||
|
|
She is happy when she is with me and I am
|
||
|
|
I am finally alive
|
||
|
|
I'm sorry"
