Once And For All Lyrics - The Crane Wives

I tried it your way, 

You tried it mine, 

The white flags still aren't waving 

This ain't the good fight 

I'm putting my foot down 

Weak knees and all 

Finally standing on my own 

After the great fall 

Once and for all 

Once and for all 

Once and for all 

I only fought for love 

At your request 

Didn't think you'd be the one to 

Leave me clutching at my chest 

Remember you're the one that gave up 

When my blood runs dry 

You could still carry me away but 

You leave me here to die 

Once and for all 

Once and for all 

Once and for all 

Dodged bullets and fire spray 

My blood's forever on your hands 

When my ghost sings my battle cry 

You'll be too sorry to dance 

Once and for all 

Once and for all 

Once and for all 

Once and for all 

What does that mean? 

It's a promise I'm making 

That I don't actually believe 

Once and for all 

Means I've tried it before 

So many times that I'm so fucking tired 

That I'll never be able to close that door 

Once and for all 

Once and for all 

Once and for all 

Once and for all
