Hammer + Nail

Tonight I can hear you crying
From six thousand miles away
I think you knew why you loved me
But darling you could never say

There's a bruise on your chest
Where my head used to rest
In the only room where you wanted me close
And your beard cut like splinters
The last time I touched your face
As the walls were closing in
On that lonely place

So baby you hold the nail
And I'll swing the hammer
And together we'll start the split
That will shatter our forever

Now you're packing the last of your things
As the end of the world arrives
And I'm just dust between the floorboards
I'm the red in your eyes
I'm the silence

So in our hands we hold the pieces
Of all those years together
Built our dreams on broken beams
We didn't stand a chance ever

But honey don't get me wrong
'Cause I will love you forever

So baby you hold the nail
And I'll swing the hammer
And together we'll start the split
That will shatter our forever
