Couldn’t release until I realised
East and west were the same side
Didn't stand up till your song was sung
Now all your love is overdone
Well
I was above and below
But I didn't leave until the love was already gone

I was suited not suitable
Bastard black dog hosts your funeral
Hell knows that I didn’t cheat
With lipstick blood all over me
Well I was above and below
Silver bullet goes fast and slow
I didn't leave until the love was already gone

And part of me knows where you go
Hello I could be the fable
Blunt knife cradle
I could be unstable
While you weep when you know I'm alone
But I didn't leave until my friends were already gone

Only
Only when my mother cannot mend
Only
Only when my river starts to bend
Only
Only when the heavens hold the men
Only
Only when my skin starts to stretch
Ahhh

Only when my river starts to bend
Only when the heavens hold the men
Only when my skin starts to stretch
Only when my mother cannot mend
