Lyrics Martha Wainwright – One Of Us

Some of us are grief befallen
Some are made to choose
Some are hope incarnate
Some only sing the blues

This may be hard to swallow
This may be hard to do
This may be hard to swallow
But one of us may lose

Some of us will make it
Some will bear the bruise
Oh, how this body’s breaking
To think I’m losing you
This may be hard to swallow
This may be hard for us to do
This may be hard to swallow
But one of us will lose

I’m gonna lay you down my gun
And take the bullet
‘Cause it’s me that wants
To run when the night comes around
And my heart needs a flame to fill it

I’m gonna learn to love again
I’m gonna learn to love again

And the sun will come up again
And we’ll see our bruises
No one will ever win
When push comes to shove
On this battlefield of love

This may be hard to swallow
This may be hard for me and you
