Ian Thomas Open Letter to a Lover song lyrics

Now I know that I've been here before

All my breaths are choked by moaning

We drag each other down while underneath the door

Crawls the crazy light of morning

And it dawns on me just how wrong a love can be

How your restless breast deceived the best in me

And I make for to move, for the leave your love behind

For my eyes to pull the rest on out of me

But there's something like your arms pulling back on me

You bragged of all your independent means

How all your money made you freer

And you would criticize my margin and degree

You said i could not be thinner

But now I walk alone and I keep it close to the bone

Ain't no one gonna pick no flesh off me

Did you forget how much you leaned on a rag man like me

You know you beg pretty fucking low for such a queen

And I asked nothing more of you than to care for me

Withold your tongue while your witching hour is near

And withold your deadly conversation

And beware that you might be reborn without your sense to hear

The warning bell's reiteration

For I might reappear by another name you know

And I might wear my face on someone else's bones

And it would bore me to the teeth if I heard that you still spoke

Through the wounded lips of love that's left unknown

And I'd beg your beating blood to be more bold
