Most of All

There's a room where everyone hangs my every word

In our haunted house, my daddy rarely heard a word I said

My lover loves me most of all

He can write a beautiful love song, but he can barely sing at all

My mother praised me being truthful all my days

But I needed things that I did not say

I did not ask, did not complain

I let my wants be washed away

My lover loves me most of all

He can write a beautiful love song, but he can barely sing it all

I let the heartless make a host of me

And they plundered me for melody

Left me not a note to sing

They would've taken everything

My lover loves me most of all

He can write a beautiful love song, but he can barely sing at all

Maybe I won't be no one's mother in the end

Took the pills and the potions and the vitamins

But I could not keep my darlings in

My lover loves me most of all

He can write a beautiful love song, but he can barely sing at all

I will not ruin what I've got

All the things I am and the things are not

Will not live my life in pain if I can't see the way on any given day

I'll take a breath and look again

For my lover loves me most of all

He can write a beautiful love song, but he can barely sing at all

My lover loves me most of all

He will write a beautiful love song, though he can barely sing at all
