unrequited love

lyrics

The Loss of My Fight

Oh what pain to fall for a man fallen fast

For the love of another

Alas, I’m constantly losing the battle

For my true loves heart

Be it blessings from folly, or that pit of discord

I have not been a soul of my word

For each night I’m awake for my luck to be mourned

He’s wrapped in her arms once more

My hands have grown battered and worn from the road

My wisdom is wearing away

And my steady contrition for infatuation

Has left me a sorry cliché

Well patient I wait for some hope to be softened

This faith has been such a burden

For that clandestine sparrow that’s pumping my blood all bewitches me body and soul

Still I cling to my chest the verses past written the melody rings in my hear

If I’d known the last time I saw him I’d lose him I’d pine for him all the same

Well once he told me don’t pine for tomorrow, pine for the words left unsaid

Well there’s no more use in saying I love you when his new love awaits him in bed

So I cradle this bottle, the loss of my fight

That man I cannot win

And if all of this whiskey don’t kill me

than I don’t what will

Long Time Coming
by Sierra Ferrell

supported by 6 fans who also own “The Loss of My Fight”

Sierra Ferrell's music is the nectar that drips from vocal chords of angels on ecstacy and percocet, dripping with honey, and smelling of grandma's brownies. It has been proven to "cure what ails ya", and it temporarily wards off the existential dread that is slowly encompassing us all. Don't let the absurdity of our existence get you down. Listen to Sierra Ferrell instead. I am me and I approved this message. oldmanj716
