Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I have heard the mother's tongue
She said, baby, don't you come undone
I am so far from my home
That heaven would not hear my call
[Verse 2]
I am digging my own grave
I am chasing shit beneath the haze
I was so sure that he would stay
And would love me anyway
[Verse 3]
I was happy on my own
I would call the days as they were known
And in the guilt that I have found
You know the one that sticks around
[Verse 4]
I was so sure that I would go
That I'd already sunk the boat
[Verse 5]
And I threw out my winter coat
I cut the sleeves off all I'd known
I was so sure that I would feel
A mark of guilt, the pain of you
[Verse 6]
And I was happy on my own
I would call the days as they were known
And in the guilt that I have found
You know the one that sticks around
[Verse 7]
I was so sure that he would stay
And would love me anyway
