[00:16.36]The phone slips from a loose grip
[00:24.99]Words were missed, then some apology
[00:32.64]I didn't want to tell you this
[00:34.94]No, it's just some guy she's been hanging out with
[00:40.46]I don't know, the past couple of weeks,I guess
[00:47.31]Thank you and hang up the phone
[00:50.58]Let the funeral start, hear the casket close
[00:54.30]Let's pin split black ribbon to your overcoat
[01:02.86]The laughter pours from under doors in this house
[01:06.81]I don't understand that sound no more
[01:10.85]Seems artificial, like a TV setHaligh,
[01:17.56]Haligh, a lie,Haligh
[01:22.18]This weight, it must be satisfied
[01:26.21]You offer only one reply
[01:29.78]You know not what you do
[01:33.39]As you tear and tear your hair from roots
[01:37.1]Of that same head you've twice removed
[01:40.73]Now, a lock of hair you said would prove
[01:44.31]Our love would never die, well, ha ha ha
[01:52.67]I remember everything, the words we spoke on freezing South Street
[02:00.84]All those mornings watching you get ready for school
[02:08.15]You combed your hair inside that mirror
[02:10.91]The one you painted blue and glued with jewelry tears
[02:15.49]Something about those bright colors
[02:18.16]Would always make you feel better
[02:22.84]But now we speak with ruined tongues
[02:24.59]And the words we say aren't meant for anyone
[02:29.13]It's just a mumbled sentence to a passing acquaintance
[02:35.15]But there was once you
[02:37.01]You said you hate my suffering, and you understood
[02:41.63]And you'd take care of me
[02:45.33]You'd always be there, where are you now?
[02:52.80]Haligh, Haligh, a lie,Haligh
[02:56.81]The plans were never finalized
[03:00.48]But left to hang like yarn and twine
[03:03.94]Dangling before my eyes
[03:07.55]As you tear and tear your hair from roots
[03:11.8]From that same head that you have twice removed
[03:14.91]Now, a lock of hair you said would prove
[03:18.71]Our love would never die
[03:22.3]And I sing and sing of awful things
[03:25.57]The pleasure that my sadness brings
[03:29.31]As my fingers press onto the strings
[03:32.88]Yet another clumsy chord
[03:36.56]Haligh, Haligh, an awful lie
[03:40.16]This weight would now be satisfied
[03:43.75]I'm gonna give you only one reply
[03:47.58]I know not who I am?
[03:50.33]But I talk in the mirror
[03:53.71]To the stranger that appears
[03:56.71]Our conversations are circles
[03:59.14]Always one sided, nothing is clear
[04:04.32]Except we keep coming back
[04:07.79]To this meaning that
[04:10.36]I lack He says "The choices were given"
[04:12.47]And now, you must live them
[04:14.77]Or just not live
[04:18.18]But do you want that?
[04:20.73]
