The Jealous Sound - A Gentle Reminder lyrics

Burst, and I'm awake Now not straight from these woods we had known And in the dark they gathered there With ropes woven from strands of your hair And like these kings that came before I fell asleep on this strange forest floor And they would spirit you away And in the dances you gave up your throne You're breaking your back to be alone Refusing this kindness you were shown It doesn't mean anything anyway It doesn't mean Beneath this canopy of trees I wrap my arms around my knees And rocking gently back to sleep As I collapse into the deep With these words that we exchange This isn't finished I couldn't bare to let you go I couldn't bare to let you go Exhausted and estranged Testing your limits This isn't fair, I didn't know I couldn't bare to let you go And it's a risk, but I resist Now it's my wish that you will Somehow And you have everything you need With this compa** and map you ignore You can't make yourself believe Discontent but you still wanted more And at the swollen riverbank You tried to cross But you sank like a stone You're breaking your back to be alone Refusing this kindness you were shown It doesn't mean anything anyway It doesn't mean Beneath this canopy of trees I wrap my arms around my knees And rocking gently back to sleep As I collapse into the deep With these words that we exchange This isn't finished I couldn't bare to let you go I couldn't bare to let you go Exhausted and estranged Testing your limits This isn't fair, I didn't know I couldn't bare to let you go And from the moment you arrived You had seemed so frustrated You had tried to leave this all behind to me And like a fool you had traded They motion you inside to sleep From such a steep and narrow climb These arrows at your feet were signs And I could feel you frustrated With these words that we exchange This isn't finished I couldn't bare to let you go I couldn't bare to let you go Exhausted and estranged Testing your limits This isn't fair, I didn't know I couldn't bare to let you go A burst, and I'm awake now And now straight from these woods We had known
