House Carpenter
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.
Our mistake was the love we made
I didn't deliberate
But I never meant you wrong
No, I didn't mean it
If you've ever lost a loved one
I pray for you, I really do
If you've ever lost a loved one
I pray for you
'Cause there’s a sad and lonely comfort
In the hollow of your eyes
But don't you let it take you over
'Cause it will eat you up inside
And I heard you're married to a house carpenter
And your love will never be mine
If you're not breathing, why am I?
Left alone in this ship
If you're not breathing, why am I?
Left alone
With the sad and lonely comfort
Of the hollow in your eyes
But don't you let it take me under
'Cause it will eat me up inside
And I'm sure you're married to your house carpenter
And your love will never be mine
(All the pain and the way it was
All of the shame and the hate, because I was in love with the way it was
All that I do, I do for you
All the pain and the way it was
All of the shame and the hate, because I was in love with the way it was
All that I do, I do for you)
If you're not breathing, why am I?
Left alone in this shit
If you're not breathing, why am I?
Left alone
With the sad and lonely comfort
Of the hollow in your eyes
But I won't let it take me over
'Cause it will eat me up inside
And I'm sure you're buried with your house carpenter
And your face I'll never see no more
Your face I'll never see no more
Your face
Your face
Your face
Your face
With the sad and lonely comfort
Of the hollow in your eyes
But I won't let it take me under
'Cause it will eat me up inside
Yeah, I heard you’re married to a house carpenter
And your love will never me mine
No, your love will never be mine
(I love you so much)
