Rough Hands - Alexisonfire

Was I left behind?

Someone tell me, tell me I survived

And don’t look so surprised that I’m home, but just for tonight

With rough hands, and sore eyes

So don’t speak;

I am tired

Let’s just live through this lie

She says I swear too much, she says a lot of things

Well I’d swear every other word if I could, for her I’ll make an attempt

Sometimes love isn’t about how much someone suits you

But how much you’re willing to change to suit them

All my bones are dust

(Two people, too damaged, too much, too late)

And my heart’s sealed with rust

(Two people, too damaged, too much, too late)

These hands will always be rough

(Two people, too damaged, too much, too late)

I know this won’t count for much

(Two people, too damaged, too much, too late)

One day my hands were too soft

One day she said «I'm tired»

One day her clothes were on my floor

One day, empty bottles

Well I’m not saying she’s my last

I’m just saying that she could have been

It doesn’t matter how rough these hands get

It doesn’t matter 'cause I’m not her man

Rough hands, rough days

Rough hands, rough nights

Rough hands, rough season

Rough hands, rough fights

All my bones are dust (Rough hands, rough days

Two people, too damaged, too much, too late)

And my heart’s sealed with rust (Rough hands, rough season

Two people, too damaged, too much, too late)

These hands will always be rough (Rough hands, rough days

Two people, too damaged, too much, too late)

I know this won’t count for much (Rough hands, rough season

Two people, too damaged, too much, too late)
