A Song About Divorce

I was raised by wolves in the desert
Feeding my will to what they need
And I recall you opening heaven
When you brought in a leash
Oh, you were torn
But I followed blindly
No, I’m not naive or anything like that
I just felt lightness
Now turning to burden

‘Cause it’s not working
It never has
Your words are so certain
They cut through my eyes
Trouble was welcome
Right from the start
This is not
Always hoping
All forgiving

Love
Left in a drying well
How could you walk away
You were bound
I gave my life away
How could you ever say
I’ve changed
Oh, you’ve changed

Oh, and it is true
I’ve lost my balance
Cast under your spell
You’re a shipwreck pulling me under
And my lungs are gasping for air

It’s just not working
It never has
Your words are so certain
They cut through my eyes
Trouble was welcome
Right from the start
This is not
Always hoping
All forgiving

Love
Left in a drying well
How could you walk away
You were bound
I gave my life away
How could you ever say
I’ve changed
Oh, I’ve changed
Oh, you’ve changed
