Until the Rope Breaks

Until the Rope Breaks

Song 1

Quin McGlaughlin


He closed the window pane
To keep out the rain
She closed her eyes
To shut out the pain

They closed the door
To quiet the shame
But its only so much fray
Until the rope breaks

And it rained. . .

He was late again
And he smelled like sin
And sin smelled like gin
And looked like lipstick

He staggered down the maze
Of his driveway
But its only so much fray
Until the rope breaks

And it rained. . .

Never again, he swore
But sorry she knows is shown
And as long as they’re together
She’ll always be alone

Its only so much fray
Until the rope breaks
She closed her eyes
She felt the pain

And it rained. . .

Another night, another glass
But this time it costs
Half to be exact
A losing battle well fought

Because she’s had enough
And he never could
And its only so much fray
Until the rope breaks

And it rained. . .

He swallowed his drink
In an empty home
So this is how it felt
To be the one alone

There was nothing left to lose
Except for his greed
So he lowered the noose
And with one jump was free

Its only so much fray
Until the rope breaks

And it rained. . .
