I'm in the car, I just needed to clear my head She's in the house, with the baby crying on the bed She's got this thing where she puts up the wall so high It doesn't matter how much you love It doesn't matter how hard you try We got a place with a fence and a little grass I put this film on the windows and it looks like chapel glass But when she turns, it's like the shadow of the cross don't cast No blessing over our lonely lives It's like waiting for a train to pass I don't know when it'll pass But I remember when she used to set the room on fire With her eyes, swear to God It's like a flood of grief and sorrow from a haunted life When she cried, like a tree It's a lie I dropped the line to a flickering high school flame We laughed about all the ways that our lives had changed She's up the road, about 35 miles north Got two little boys in school Just had a real bad divorce And in a moment of weakness I told her if she ever needed a helping hand I would lend Swear to God It's like a part of me that's screaming not to jump It's lost in the sound of the train It's a lie I dropped the line Not to kill me Swear to God It's like a flood of grief and sorrow from a haunted life When she cried, like a tree It's a lie I dropped the line to a flickering high school flame We laughed about all the ways that our lives had changed She's up the road, about 35 miles north Got two little boys in school Just had a real bad divorce And in a moment of weakness I feel like I'm lost I feel like I'm lost I feel like I'm lost
