He had to               leave     though I       begged him         to stay
(While playing chorus again) Left me alone When I needed the light Fell to my knees And I wept for my life If he had have stayed You might understand If he had have stayed You never would have taken my hand [Pre-Chorus] (x2) He wrote I’m love Please send for me But I am broken too And spoken for Do not tempt me

He had to               leave     though I       begged him         to stay
[Chorus] Begged him to stay In my cold wooden grip Begged him to stay By the light of this ship Me fighting him Fighting light, fighting dawn And the waves came and stole him And took him to war [Pre-Chorus] (x2) He wrote I'm broke Please send for me But I am broken too And spoken for Do not tempt me [Verse] (x2) Forgive me Hera I cannot stay Cut out my tongue There is nothing to say Love me, oh Lord He threw me away He laughed at my sins In his arms I must stay [Pre-Chorus] (x2) We write That's alright I miss his smell We speak When spoken to That suits us well
