Natali

Natali it's not your fault

You didn't buy that rock

You didn't prop it up

On a bed made of plywood and foam

As it came crashing like a comedy piano in free fall

Oh, the tragedy of it all

Is that you didn't even blink

All the heavenly glories that I never saw

Because my eyes filled up with the blood and the gore

And you carried on like you were somehow dumb

As the whole world rested at the tip of your tongue

As if we needed more of a sign

To draw the end of the line

You broke my heart as well as my head

No more fumbling, I'm jumbling my words instead

You seem to forget all too soon

As I lost faces and places and names

Things remained more or less the same

Because it didn't happen to you

Silence became your best friend

Over breakfast tea

I lost another part of me

The morning you left

Remember in the back of the ambulance

Trying to hide the smell of me

From your face and your hands

Laughing loudly all the way at life's cruel joke

You could've been the villain in Murder She Wrote

I wouldn't change what we did I'd only treasure it more

I'd give you all my love with a Darwin Award

And if I could go back I wouldn't carry that rock

Down the side of a mountain because it weighed a lot

As if we needed more of a sign

To draw the end of a line

You broke my heart as well as my head

No more fumbling, I'm jumbling my words instead

No more fumbling, I'm jumbling my words instead

No more fumbling, I'm jumbling my words instead

No more fumbling, I'm jumbling my words instead
