From the recording HALL OF FRAMES
Lyrics
PRETTY BINDING
Oh, I loved you baby
More than I loved myself
But all the days I was loving you
Felt like living in hell
You loved me when I was lonely
But I could not see inside
The tears of a little girl falling down
Victim from a past she hides
Nothing is forbidden when lovers live in pain
And anger has no limit or refrain
Living for the moments of love when it was best
Enduring all her darkness nothing less
You know I come home to find you
Madder than the world outside
I bring you home all my money
And all you want to do is fight
I won’t live with a woman whose hating me
For crimes I didn’t commit
I’m packing my bags & leaving you baby
You can’t make love like this
Nothing is forbidden when lovers are insane
And passion has no limit or refrain
Living for the moments of love when it was best
We’re prisoners of perception nothing less
No matter how pretty the binding is
You better read the pages inside
You might find a different story there
Than the title on the cover outside
I’m working on a brand-new binding now
With a different chapter new inside
And the story has a better ending now
Than the woman I left behind
The woman I left behind
