Maudlin Lyrics - Singles - A Life Once Lost

Her clothes were soaked with mildew 

Ropes burned their way 

Through her fragile thin wrists 

I stood over her watching to see 

If she was going to live or die 

I remember her screaming 

And scratching to my arms while 

I was tying her wrists behind her back 

She was kicking her legs 

Up and down in my direction 

Trying to prevent me from knotting the ropes 

"Stop crying", I screamed in her face 

"You took me for granted this time 

How could you've done this to me?" 

I said as I punched the ground beside her 

Until fists were sore and bloody 

"Honey, this could've all been different 

If you had wanted it to be" 

I gently whispered in her ear 

You don't care what you want anymore 

This is what I want now 

Don't offer me anything 

You will be wasting you breath
