Destroyer - Your Blues Lyrics

Why does every one of her lovers leave her?
I'm ill-equipped to judge the tale of a woman
That inviting army slut
The colonel's in a rut back at the base, they're saying
Now each day when he wakes, his prayers take the form of one question
"How is it that we can be both skating and dying?"

Lord knows, I've been trying
Lord knows, I've been trying (Lord knows, I've been trying)
Lord knows, I've been trying
Lord knows, I've been trying (Lord knows, I've been trying)
Lord knows, I've been trying

Lord knows, I've been trying
Lord knows, I've been trying (Lord knows, I've been trying)
Lord knows, I've been trying
Lord knows, I've been trying (Lord knows, I've been trying)
Lord knows, I've been trying
