The Ink Well
Future Islands

looking back without not owning
all i have are these sad stories
something said to keep you laughing
didn't embed the lovers quarry
you were a rope you missed so softly
and what you said was it meant for me?

grief is in your wicked heart
just like the day you said goodbye
lucky for me the door you've chosen is open
now my heart is broken

and i don't have to worry
you were always stronger than me
the ghost of you still haunts me at night
that's enough to keep me happy sometimes

and i don't have to worry
whether or not you're waiting for me
you can't make someone love you
you just can't make someone love you

grief is in your wicked heart
just like the day you said goodbye
you were a roof, and i adobe
i have so much to show you

grief is in your carried heart
just like the day you said goodbye
lucky for me the door you've chosen is broken
now my heart is open
