I Was Due For A Heartbreak, I Guess Songtext
von Maura Weaver

My lonely longing, it can′t be quenched
By sources found outside the vest
Your earthquake rattles the brittle bones
Of windows in our fragile home

Our goodbye was for the best
As far as I can see
But I can't seem to get enough of what you gave to me
I′ve always been the one who struck the match & burned the nest
I was due for a heartbreak, I guess


The wind she offers some little prayers
To roots and twigs that built despair
I shake them in a fit of hope
From shrines where I have hung the word "unfair"

Our goodbye was for the best
As far as I can see
But I can't seem to get enough of what you gave to me
I've always been the one who struck the match & burned the nest
I was due for a heartbreak, I guess

The soft embrace of your downy feathers
Gifted me hope but also my tethers
Of love you sing
But an empty shell you bring
But an empty shell you bring
