Loose Garment

I knew before it started, this August would be a hard one
Late summer love sprung up between us
Didn't last through the seasons
I'm brokenhearted, I'm disappointed
It was still beautiful
Took myself out to dinner and cried about you on the way home

Used to wear my sadness like a choker, yeah
It had me by the throat
Tonight, I feel I'm draped in it like a loose garment
I just let it flow

(Ah)
(Ah)
(Ah, ah)

I could come up with reasons I didn't love you well enough
Shooting the second arrow into the hole where the first was
We've paid in pain now, we'll keep the change
The blame is for the birds (blame is for the birds)
I'll break it up in pieces and feed it to them by the river

Used to wear my sadness like a choker, yeah
It had me by the throat (had me by the throat)
Tonight, I feel I'm draped in it like a loose garment
I just let it flow

(Ah)
(Ah)
(Ah, ah)
