The Suffering
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Is there word or right to say
Even in this old fashioned way?
Go make your move girl
I'm not coming home
Would things have changed if I could have stayed?
Would you have loved me either way?
Dressed to the blues, day to day, with my collar up
Decision sits so make it quick
A breath inhaled from an air so sick
I cursed the day I had learned of the web you spun
You had your hold till bleeding
(Hey, hey!)
If it was up to me
I would have figured you out way before the year clocked out
Oh I hope you're waiting
Oh I hope you're waiting
(Hey, hey!)
If it was up to me
I would have never walked out
So until the Sun burns out
Oh, I hope you're waiting
Would we have lived as a child would care?
With this vile to drink I dare
Only to cry all alone with your taste on tongue
Oh, where have you been, if it hurts to be forgiving? Bye!
Should we try this again with hope?
Or is it lost, give up the ghost?
And should I die all alone as I knew I would?
Then burn in hell young sinner!
(Hey, hey!)
If it was up to me
I would've figured you out way before the year clocked out
Oh, I hope you're waiting.
Oh, I hope you're waiting
Listen well, will you marry me?
Are you well in the suffering?
The most gracious of hosts
You may be invited girl, but you're not coming in
Listen well, will you marry me?
Are you well in the suffering?
The most gracious of hosts
I may be invited girl, but I'm not coming in
(Hey, hey!)
If it was up to me
I would've figured you out way before the year clocked out
Oh, I hope you're waiting
(Hey, hey!)
If it was up to me
I would have never walked out
So until the Sun burns out
Oh, I hope you're waiting
(Oh where have you been if it hurts to be forgiving?)
Listen well, will you marry me?
Are you well in the suffering?
The most gracious of hosts
You may be invited girl, but you're not coming in
Listen well, will you marry me?
Are you well in the suffering?
The most gracious of hosts
I may be invited girl, but I'm not coming in
Listen well, will you marry me?
Are you well in the suffering?
The most gracious of hosts
You may be invited girl, but you're not coming in
Listen well, will you marry me?
Are you well in the suffering?
The most gracious of hosts
I may be invited girl, but I'm not coming in
And you're not coming in
