The Chore
I saw him love a girl that was made from more than his wife and heartache. She lived without the chore of a love she’s not reading. We all went back to work, and the rumours boiled and they burnt. I heard it all from her, and from them, as we fell apart.
It weathered me down. And the stories go ‘round. It weathered me down. She can’t believe it’s over when it’s not. He wants to see it over when it’s not. I was trying to say the lying was so bad it hurt. While you’re beaming, all your people sting and soil.
He wants to love a girl who has lived at home well away from heartache. He lived without the chore of a love that’s worth reading. We all went back to work, and the silence brewed and it burnt. Now it all starts to blur, she’s the one that’s been screaming.
It weathered me down. And the stories go ‘round. It weathered me down. She can’t believe it’s over when it’s not. He wants to see it over when it’s not. I was trying to say the lying was so bad it hurt. While you’re beaming, all your people sting and soil.
I saw him love a girl that was made from more than is wife and heartache. She lived without the chore of a love she’s not reading. We all went back to work, and the silence brewed and it burnt. Now it all starts to blur, she’s the one that’s been screaming.
