Last Blues for Bloody Knuckles - La Dispute

Last Blues For Bloody Knuckles:

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 has faded

But I know it's there

How'd it change

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

Oh precious wife, believe I'll save this

I'll revive it, I will

We've built a family from this marriage

Why would you tear it apart

Oh speak now, precious

Your silence screams

You're giving in to failure

Hear me, the promise that you made was meant to live forever

Until our deathbed, you're not allowed to change your mind

Was there nothing in that promise

Are you listening to me

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

There was nothing I could do

No, there was nothing I could

Sure as the rain will fall

Some love just fails without reason

There is nothing you can do

There is nothing you can do

There is nothing you can do

There is nothing you can do
