lyrics

I should've known I couldn't handle a woman like her
But she felt like home in the way that she could make me feel like I was doing everything right
Now my songs, they're ringing out into the wilderness and she ain't got the ears or the time to waste on love
And I don't think I could explain when I say a little black magic just left my life

And if this is where it truly ends, then I don't want to sing anymore
Who could love my voice like that again?

She's a hurricane
She broke like Sandy over my narrow shores, but I'd embrace that flood eternally
Then I went insane
I let it saturate me at my core, but she ain't got that dark or that grief
She just wanted love, and I don't think I could explain when I say I showed it in the worst possible way
And I failed to trust when she just asked me for patience
Instead, I went and burned the life she made for me

But if I can't even persist, how do I expect to prove that I'm a better man now?
I need to get her to love my voice like that again

I can speak it so damn fluently, but can't seem to follow through
You said I've got to do it for me, but it just helps thinking of you
And that's the skin I want to shed now. I want to be happy on my own
But my delusions have me thinking that it's not time to let you go

So now I'll speak to you in songs, sung outside the castle that you've built, about how I'll never understand why we're expected to sit still and watch the love that you and I deserve dissolve like tablets on our tongues, then let it wash over our reality 'til that earth can breathe and speak to me.
It tells me that I'm nobody, and your heart just ain't no place for me
But it also brings this clarity that maybe, if you're better off, then I'm better off

....but that scares me, love, because I know I'm wrong....
