Sparing her teeth, |
| [00:22.33] |
the curve of her smile is sharing the blame, |
| [00:29.13] |
and what a relief it is to sign treaties over dinner at eight fifteen, |
| [00:39.47] |
And he asked for the end of the world, |
| [00:43.38] |
cracking open the hearts of his girls, |
| [00:47.88] |
and he asked for the end of a life, |
| [00:52.39] |
When he battered the contracts his wife had adhered to for so many years, |
| [00:59.59] |
and agreed to play prisoner for so many fears, |
| [01:03.98] |
for herself and the children, |
| [01:06.77] |
for swelling up inside, |
| [01:14.69] |
The armor will fall, |
| [01:17.07] |
he is breaching defenses with his stories of better times, |
| [01:23.89] |
to try and recall, |
| [01:26.19] |
tears that had salted the wounds that he left inside her mind, |
| [01:33.86] |
And he asked for the end of the world, |
| [01:37.85] |
cracking open the hearts of his girls, |
| [01:42.53] |
and he asked for the end of a life, |
| [01:47.12] |
when he begged for forgiveness despite.. |
| [01:50.76] |
all the reasons she could have denied, |
| [01:54.29] |
his request for a daughter and god knows she tried, |
| [01:58.63] |
but he broke down inside and settled his lies, |
| [02:03.16] |
while she fervently listened, |
| [02:05.84] |
she knew she wasn't right. |
| [02:27.46] |
When all your photographs fade out, |
| [02:31.74] |
I'll be the one who takes them down, |
| [02:36.27] |
and the apologies you choose, |
| [02:41.00] |
the only memories of you, |
| [02:45.38] |
When all your photographs fade out, |
| [02:49.88] |
I'll be the one who takes them down, |
| [02:54.41] |
and the apologies you choose, |
| [02:58.98] |
the only memories of you, |
| [03:22.70] |
And he asked for the end of the world, |
| [03:27.13] |
cracking open the hearts of his girls, |
| [03:31.71] |
and he asked for the end of a life, |
| [03:36.40] |
when he swept all the sorrow inside. |
