So It Goes - Sims

It wasn’t enough, it just wasn’t enough

We made eyes just to disconnect lives

And I just want her to lie with me tonight

Lie to me tonight and say it’s going to be alright

We used to sleep like a braid

Now the both of us are tugging at a thread

We hoping it don’t break

Painstaking to stay but we both know the fray

Caught at a funeral, wondering where June went

I was a student of you in your moonlit movement

Bed sheets used to croon the sweetest music

Now it’s usually bruises

A routine that’s set in sediment, argument

Then sex and settlement

And nothing hurts worse than falling out of it

You try to cover up but you know it’s counterfeit

I tried to cover up

Rust encrusted heron must give up the sparrow

Trust I’m stuck with wearing this arrow in my lung

A hook in my gut leaking marrow in the dust

Looking for my steel tipped dove

And that’s how the real lose love

I’m on the brink just waiting for a shove

And when it comes I’ll shrug

And spread my arms in a brand new suit

While the birds shoot a 21 gun salute

She drew me bloody, ruined me monthly

June she starts to hug me

September says she loves me

December’s sky was ugly

May Day she say she’s leaving

After we made it through the rainy season

June she’s back with two reasons

Why I should let her back

Bed the ax, Medusa’s trying to take the scepter back

I can’t accept her after that

After a winter spent in discontent for this lament

And when she left I felt free

With a piece of me missing

Easy to fall in but unseasonably frost bitten

But who am I kidding?

It’s not meant for me

I’m too selfish with mine and terrible at timing

Climbing up mountains

Doubting if I’ll ever find that level ground

They says it’s better when the love is lost than never found

Caught in a storm cloud, honestly worn out

First we fight then you storm out

It wasn’t enough, it just wasn’t enough //

I gave time but it wasn’t enough

My heart and my spine, it wasn’t enough

My bark, my roots, my leaves, my tree, it wasn’t enough

And so it goes, the v-e is out of place with the l-o

And now I run around town with a busted up mouth

Busted up jaw, and some busted up ribs

A cut from a saw, something’s got to give

Must be the way I live, must be just me

Rusty old tree in the center of the cemetery

Fighting off teeth

And she wonders why I get no sleep

And she wonders why the willows weep

I remember all that pillow speak

Now every night I drink myself to finding new shelter

Cause everyday is so cold, but you know how that goes

And so it goes
