"Loose Garment" lyrics

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 broken hearted, 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

I could come up with reasons I didn't love you well enough
Shooting a 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 (The 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
Tonight I feel I'm draped in it
Like a loose garment
I just let it flow
