lyrics
making my way through
the deepness of the dark
down there to your door
silent and waiting
nestled with the wolves and the trees
said that you’d leave with me
said he don’t see you
said that it’s finally time
in the shadows of the night
oh you know I’d do you right
so where are you
places in private
oh the spaces you’d come around
out there on the edge of town
I’d sit and listen
to the stories that you’d weave...and believe
said that it was always me
but I hear those whispers
what did you say to everyone
to come off as the saint
oh the pictures that you paint
can be so threatening
said we were leaving
finally make it out of here
was I the only one, the only one who heard
said he mistreats you
said those wounds would never heal
was I the only one, the only one who heard
or are you...
are you still with him
you know I’m a good man
didn’t ask for this to start
to play that part
you know I’ve got a gentle heart
but letters in secret
slipped under a door
where you’d implore
“we’re not together anymore”
did you know that I kept them
hell you even signed your name
and though I’d like to do the same
well you know I’ll take the blame
martyring
the deepness of the dark
down there to your door
silent and waiting
nestled with the wolves and the trees
said that you’d leave with me
said he don’t see you
said that it’s finally time
in the shadows of the night
oh you know I’d do you right
so where are you
places in private
oh the spaces you’d come around
out there on the edge of town
I’d sit and listen
to the stories that you’d weave...and believe
said that it was always me
but I hear those whispers
what did you say to everyone
to come off as the saint
oh the pictures that you paint
can be so threatening
said we were leaving
finally make it out of here
was I the only one, the only one who heard
said he mistreats you
said those wounds would never heal
was I the only one, the only one who heard
or are you...
are you still with him
you know I’m a good man
didn’t ask for this to start
to play that part
you know I’ve got a gentle heart
but letters in secret
slipped under a door
where you’d implore
“we’re not together anymore”
did you know that I kept them
hell you even signed your name
and though I’d like to do the same
well you know I’ll take the blame
martyring
