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
