The Last Chapter

With a head full of hurricanes
Another bottle waiting on the table
Every day started the same
Mind against body’s betrayal

He fought against temptation
While she cleaned after him
Took her jewelry to parcel
She bought ones made of tin

"Hush, you don’t need to answer
We are close to the last chapter
No more forgiveness no more lies
Before this love runs out of time"

He said “I thought you were asleep
Well, I just had a little in the morning
But I promise, there won’t be a repeat
Baby, you know how hard I’m trying”

He reached out to touch her hand
To wipe the tears from her eyes
But she slipped through like sand
Before he could apologize

She said "Hush, you don’t need to answer
We are close to the last chapter
No more forgiveness no more lies
Before this love runs out of time"

She grabbed an old picture,held to his face
said "This is the man I once loved and knew"
“He built a good life here, now that's erased"
"All there is left is me and a little bit of you"

"Now Hush! You don’t need to answer
We are close to the last chapter
No more forgiveness no more lies
Before this love runs out of time”

He said “I thought you were asleep
Well, I just had a little in the morning
But I promise, there won’t be a repeat
Baby, you know how hard I’m trying”

She said "Hush, you don’t need to answer
We are close to the last chapter
No more forgiveness no more lies
Before this love runs out of time"
