"My precious wife
I am in shambles
I am crumbling
I am

Was it something I did
Bid the tide
To climb so high
That it ripped our shore up?

I can fix it
I swear
If you trust me
I am old
And I am rusting
But I care
I care"

"My precious wife
We made a promise
Pledged our flesh
To be one
How can you
Doubt a love that
Stood so proud
As we raised our children?

I believe in
It still
It has faltered
And it is failing
But I know
It's there
It's there

And how it changed?
The way you thought of me?
How strange to think
We once were lovers
Now we've wrapped the
Past up in broken glass
And when you
Speak my name you shudder

My precious wife
Believe I'll save this
I'll revive it
I will
We built a family
From this marriage
Why would you tear it apart?"

"Speak now, precious
Your silence screams
You're giving in to your failures

Hear me
That promise
That you made
Was meant to keep
Forever

Until we die
You're not allowed to change your mind"

"Oh, husband
I could
Not control it
Husband
I could not abstain
One cannot
Stop the wind from blowing
Nor refuse the falling rain

Love stirred up a
Storm inside me
Wrapped its arms around my waist
I failed you
Dear, I'm sorry
Oh, I'm sorry

But there was
Nothing I could do
No, there was
Nothing I could do
Sure as the rain will fall
Some love just fails"

There was nothing I could do
There was nothing I could do
There was nothing I could do
There was nothing I could do
