she stole my best
and broke my breath
fixed my tie said damn the rest
she took my best
and broke my breath
she made my bed and told me
lie in it
we laid in it
we laid awake
I wanted out for her sake
she stole my best
and broke the rest
wrung out my heart and left it wet
she stole my best
and broke my breath
she set my place and told me damn the rest
she ticks like a clock
she crumbles like chalk
she whispers mea culpa while trying to walk
she never died,
she's still alive,
and so am I,
or so I think
so I'm sinking (chorus chords picked)
past forgotten bets
past cold and lonely lifelessness
through parts I thought I could forget
I still taste you on my breath
I found a strand of your hair in my coat
today, and I played with it until it broke
she cannot hear
she can't be gone yet
all my life is buried here
heap earth upon it
