Lyrics The End of the Affair - Laura Marling

Max came around one day
Very much nothing to say
And so we sat in silence by the road
It took a while to land
He threw his head into his hands
And said, "This is too much for a 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
And sit with a weary breath
No need to say the rest
I fear 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 try to keep us there
Shake hands and say good night
I love you, goodbye
Now let me live
My life
