New Old Song

from Landmine by The Post-Timey String Band

lyrics

Boy, don’t make me raise my voice.
I swore I’d stay,
But you gave me no choice
Than to break my word,
So you could see
What it’s like
To be left,
What it’s like,
To be me.

You warmed her bed
A month or so,
But I did not hear,
No, how could I know?
You treated me nice
As any man should,
But behind my back,
You were treating
Her good.

I’d like to leave you
Down on your knees
Crying for mercy,
Begging me, “please.”
I’m not red handed.
The blood is on you,
And I won’t be bonded
To vows you’ve abused.

Blindly, you thought
You were leading the blind,
That you could be cruel,
And I’d still be kind.
Well, you’ll soon find out
That I am no saint.
You can never return to
The home
That you break.

Boy, don’t make me clench my fists.
Your blows have struck me
Traveling the distance,
But loss is beneath you
When she holds the gun.
The lies that you stole
Are the prize
That you’ve won.

I’d like to leave you
Down on your knees
Praying for mercy,
Begging me, “please.”
I’m not red handed.
The blood is on you,
And I won’t be bonded
To vows you’ve abused.
