I'll piece apart the words to start I'll piece apart the words to start I've been tryin all day but I don't have the strength nor time It's a bad man who breaks the home who breaks the whole We hang from ropes we can't supply I need time and peace of mind My soul in pain but you ease the way, you ease the way Can the words suffice to soothe my haggard mind I had dues to pay and bills to pay I had dues to pay
We didn't have to start a war I could have held you another time The battles won I'm on the floor To think I needed you ever more Look around you The coward sings as my soul sleeps Put it on repeat, I'll put it on repeat You were too sick to paint the sky blue I'll write you in black and paint you in oblivion I push past but you're in disrepair I fumble you trip up the stairs And down in prayer
