Dearly Beloved

(Album: Fairhaven - 2022)

Here we are, you couldn't believe it
Still trying after all these years
These feeling are extinct but we're still here
We tried hard, hard enough to feed it
But it blew away in the night breeze
At that point the warm air just comes over me

I wanna be breathless holding
A heart that doesn't beat with fear
I want to know that someone is right next to me
Instead, we beat it, we beat it, we beat it to death
We beat it, we beat it, we beat it to death
We beat it, we beat it, we beat it until it stops

It's a Mexican standoff and both guns are drawn
But all of these rounds have been shot off for so long
And there's nothing left to fire at each other with
We're both saying we want to make it work
But how do you make, you make a dead horse walk?

We're bleeding, there's holes and there's rips in these clothes
I think how we could do this
And now what the fuck am I supposed to do?
We're unanimated and washed up
And I can't help I feel like giving up
We beat it, we beat it, we beat it until it stops

It's a Mexican standoff and both guns are drawn
But all of these rounds have been shot off for so long
And there's nothing left to fire at each other with
We're both saying we want to make it work
But how do you make, you make a dead horse walk?

I can't believe I've given my life away
Why did I give you my life that day?
Why would I give you my life that day?
I can't believe I've given my life away
Why did I give you my life that day?
Why would I give you my life that day?
