(I did it all for you)

|
She took his dentures from his mouth
|
And placed them in her own.
|
Took a shovel from the shed
|
And then dragged him from their home.
|
(I did it all for you.)
|
Left a note tacked to the door,
|
"Paid in full" is what it said.
|
High above I look below
|
And watch her slowly go.
|
River, like magnesium,
|
Burns.
|
|
(I did it all for you)
|
|
He stuck his fingers in their backs
|
To count the holes he bore.
|
Doused them all in kerosene
|
And moved to bolt the door.
|
(I did it all for you)
|
Called his Dad and said goodbye
|
As his lit match hit the floor.
|
High above I look below
|
And watch them slowly go.
|
River, like magnesium,
|
Burns.
|
|
(I did it all for you)
|
|
Set his guilt before his rage
|
Set it like a wall
|
To protect what he once knew as love,
|
But which he never knew at all.
|
River, like magnesium,
|
Burns.
|
(I did it all for you)
