I´m in the car, I just needed to clear my head
She´s in the house with the baby crying on the bed
She´s got this thing where she puts the walls so high

It doesn´t matter how much you love
It doesn´t matter how hard you try

We got a place with a fence and a little grass
I put this film on the windows, and it looks like chapel glass
But when she turns, it´s like the shadow of the cross don´t cast
No blessing over our lonely life
It´s like waiting for a train to pass, and I don´t know when it´ll pass

But I remember whеn she used to set thе room on fire
With her eyes, swear to god
It´s like a flood of grief and sorrow from a haunted life
When she cries, like a train, it´s a lot

I dropped a line to a flickering high school flame
We laughed about all the ways that our lives had changed
She´s up the road, about 35 miles north
Got two little boys in school, just had a real bad divorce
And in a moment of weakness

I told her if she ever needed a helping hand
I would lend, swear to god
It´s like the part of me that´s screaming not to jump gets lost
In the sound of the train, it´s a lot

Trying hard
Not to care

Swear to God
