[Verse 1] I have heard the mother's tongue She said, "Baby, don't you come undone" I am so far from my home That heaven would not hear my call [Verse 2] And I am digging my own grave I am chasing sh** beneath the haze I was so sure that he would stay And would love me anyway [Chorus] I was happy on my own I would call the days as they were known And in the guilt that I have found You know the one that sticks around [Post-Chorus] I was so sure that I would go That I'd already sunk the boat [Verse 3] And I sought out my winter coat I cut the sleeves off before I'd known I was so sure that I would feel A mark of guilt, the pain of you [Chorus] And I was happy on my own I would call the days as they were known And in the guilt that I had found You know the one that sticks around [Post-Chorus] I was so sure that he would stay And would love me anyway
