lyrics

Every night I saw you there
in your old wicker chair

You were wrong, I was right
Didn’t matter any fight

Coffee mug filled it up
I always knew what it was

Been on your side for years
You can never love without crying

Is she dead, is she fine
Every day, every night

Fate has dealt me a lonely blow I say
Try to help it only hurt, in the end I made it worse

Is she dead, is she fine
Every day, every night

Give back my keys, give back my chair
Take back those clothes you always left on the floor

You drove me wild, drove me insane
Drank the whole bottle and forgot my name

All I ever wanted was a mother for the first time
Finally I can see you as the leader of the landslide

She left she left the writing’s on the wall
Please believe me, I smell the alcohol
The only thing I know is that we’re in too deep
And maybe when she’s dead and gone I’ll get some sleep

You blamed it all on your kids
We were young, we were innocent

You told me a lie, fuck you for that
Fuck all your pride and fuck all your prayers

And all this time I waited like a fool and for the first time
Finally I can see you as the leader of the landslide

She left she left, the writing’s on the wall
Please believe me, don’t answer when she calls
The only thing I know is that we’re in too deep
And maybe when she’s dead and gone I’ll get some sleep

Out there on my own, I was feeling so alone
Like a poltergeist in the afterlife
Faded by degrees, I was shaking in the knees
In the aftermath of this broken glass
Ohhh
