Lyrics
The End Of The Affair
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.
Max came around one day
Very much nothing to say
And so we sat in silence by the road
It took a while to land
He threw his head into his hands
And said, "This is too much for man to hold"
If you were mine
If you were mine
I'd let you live
Your life
Threw my head into his chest
I think we did our best
But now we must make good on words to God
Answered with a weary breath
No need to say the rest
I fear that we've been lost here for too long
If you were mine
If you were mine
I'd let you live
Your life
The end of the affair
I try to keep us there
Shake hands and say goodnight
I love you, goodbye
Now let me live
My life
