We Made A Home

You’re in the basement packing the last of your things
Not how we thought it would go, what a damn perfect ending
Your shadow will stay long after you go
On the bed, on the house, on my bones
We made a home, we made a home
We made a home, we made a home
Your fears were contagious, we both shut the blinds from within
Now that you’re gone I can see there’s a brightness in everything
And we built a fortress to keep it all out
Safe from all but the dark in yourself
We made a home, we made a home
We made a home, we made a home
I’ll paint the walls back to white
I’ll paint the walls back to white

LYRICS:
When you were getting treatment
I watched your favorite movie every night
About a man who gave up every dream he ever had
Someone always needed something he could give
There’s enough of me to go around until there’s not
There’s enough of you for everyone to use, but...
It’s a wonderful life
It’s a wonderful life
It’s a wonderful life
Everybody cries
So call your wild creatures
They’ll hop and flap and skitter to your knees
More mouths to feed, but they’ve done their share of feeding too
When you’re wrapped around the madness, let em hold you
There’s enough of me to go around if I hold my breath
There’s enough of you, but Mom, we gotta breathe out
It’s a wonderful life
It’s a wonderful life
It’s a wonderful life
Everybody cries
I’m enough of me, no matter what I have to give
You’re enough of you, you've got nothing to prove
It’s a wonderful life
It’s a wonderful life
It’s a wonderful life
It’s a wonderful life

Together for the Kids
03:36

They stay together for the kids
It’s not marital bliss but it is what it is.
They don’t know what they’d do
Say “Life isn’t great but at least I’ve got you.”
The kids all wish they’d split
Been talking past each other since 1996.
Kids are grown and paying rent
“What are they waiting for? We know we were an accident.”
Will I burn out anyone I love for 20 years?
Even great loves fray around the edges.
Even great loves fray around the edges.

Spare Me
04:59
|

I’m a woman, not a notion
I’m a heartbeat, not your conscience
I’m a whole, not your good half— spare me.
You’ve been living like you wanna die
For so long that I already grieved us
I can’t suspend my disbelief
Thought it was love, but I guess it was grief
Shoulda known from the way they all looked at me
You were never coming back.
You were never coming back.
I can’t suspend my disbelief
Thought it was love, but I guess it was grief
Shoulda known from the way they all looked at me
You were never coming back.
You set me free from my desperate hopes
With the knife that you used to cut the rope
You were going down with me in tow
To the darkness below
To the darkness below
Did you spare me? Spare me.
Did you spare me? Spare me.
I can’t suspend / spare me
My disbelief / spare me
You were going down / spare me
With me in tow / spare me
Spare me, did you spare me?
Spare me, did you spare me?
Spare me.
