Laura Marling - The End Of The Affair Lyrics

Max came around one day
With very much, nothing to say
And so we sat in silence by the road
It took awhile to land
He threw his head into hands
And said this is too much
For man to hold

If you were mine
If you were mine
I'd let you live your life

Threw my head into his chest
I think we did our best
But now we must make good
On words to God

Answered with a weary breath
No need to say the rest
I feel that we've been lost here
For too long

If you were mine
If you were mine
I'd let you live your life

The end of the affair
I tried to keep us there
Shake hands and say goodnight
I love you, goodbye

Now let me live my life
