(+) A Little Death to Laugh
The day we met my life has changed
I always heard that love was strange and painful, painful
One night you slept upon your side
Tangled in white you just looked like an angle, an angel
So why did you fly away
I've been dying a little death since that very day
I used to laugh when you told me
you must forget and forgive to be free
Down by the water dressed in black,
I swore revenge to get you back hateful, hateful
I made my camp upon the hill
drank whiskey from the secret still blameful, blameful
So why did you fly away
I've been dying a little death since that very day
I used to laugh when you told me
you must forget and forgive to be free
And I never could admit
The part I had in it
so this is what I get, my friend
Drunk in a field of scarlet snow
I reconciled with your ghost in April, in April
I stood before the hypocrite
there in the mirror brightly lit shameful, shameful
Now I know why you ran away
I've been dying a little death since that very day
I used to laugh when you told me
you must forget and forgive
you must forgive
just to live
you must forget and forgive to be free
