Текст La Dispute – New Storms For Older Lovers
Текст:
«I’ve come here as a man in shambles — worn out from begging on my knees
Please, I’m just trying to keep my family together
Now, when you saw your lover wore a ring around her finger, why didn’t you stop?
I have half a mind to make you hurt, to make you bleed, to make you suffer
Forgive what I would do to you, you monster
And think about your children?
They’ll never believe what you’ve done
Listen, I’m begging you, back off
Let me rebuild all the things that you shattered
She meant it, I swear that she meant it, she whispered so often
‘Husband, I’ll always be here with you’
Always, always, always, always, always, always, always is valueless
I wish I’d never heard her speak a word
And I hope you see us — your wife and your children
And I — buried in the wreckage of your crime
While you’re laying down your sins
Softly leaning in to kiss your guilt goodnight»
She is mine. You stole her, somehow tricked her but
We’ll survive. We will. She loves me dearly—you’ll see
You are blind. She loves me dearly
Breathe in
He finally paused to take a breath
Then looked down — it felt like staring into hell
The man was seated in a chair before him, silent
A statue framed in pain and flesh. He thought
«Oh, what more can I say to sway him? To make this statue speak?
I swear he’s made of stone and I am barely stirring up a breeze»
And after waiting in the silence
Finally turned around to leave
Breathing slowly, beating hard, he heard him speak
«I guess love’s a funny thing — the way it fades away without a warning
It doesn’t ask to be excused
And when it’s gone — oh, it’s gone — and it ain’t ever comin’ back
There is nothing you can do to save it
To make it breathe the way it did when you were sliding on the ring
Trust me: It’s gone for good
Now there is nothing you can do to stop me
She is happy when she is with me and I am finally alive. I’m sorry»
