Lyrics Then Again, Maybe You Were Right - La Dispute

Then Again, Maybe You Were Right

I spoke too soon, it seems, for you made a home in my dreams.
While I slept you kept running yourself through my head,
Like, «I won’t be dead yet."I said, «You don’t understand.
We had no control.
They stole it;
love’s been so unfair to me.»
«But see, boy, that’s my point.
You must move on.»
Then felt her ghost move in me.
I heard her voice call out my name but this time it faded out — away.
«I'll bury it today.»
So I breathed her name out into a cold, cold room,
Watched her ghost ascend the walls and then dissolve,
«This time I choose to let her go.
I will not let my fear become the only world I’ve ever known.
I know my heart, kiss my mouth, set me free — I’ve wounds to mend.
And we’ll be more than friends, my dear;
I fear I’ve changed my mind again.»
«But boy, you’re too late.
Oh, God, it’s too late.»
