Coffins - MisterWives

I gave my hand for oh you to hold

I gave my love that you went and sold

Exchange our song for oh another

Can’t blame this sad flame that once looked like no other

How do you soften

The thought of carrying coffins?

We were so alive

Only to see us wither and die

You say you’d stare even if it should all fall

You’re yearning, you’re dead when you hit the wall

I shut your ears, tried to make you hear my call

How do you soften

The thought of carrying coffins?

We were so alive

Only to see us wither and die

Oh I never ever thought I’d hear these words be said

Now I lay here in my unmade bed

And your stomach is unable to be fed

Your ego swallowed you and from their you fled

So far away

Could not find your way back

Walked down your path

Where feet slipped through the grass

Where feet slipped through the grass

Could not find your way back

Where feet slipped through the grass

Could not find your way back

How do you soften

The thought of carrying coffins?

We were so alive

Only to see us wither and die
