My Man Go

My man go, my man come
take my love and leave me none just enough to carry on
I knew him once or so I thought, but what was then now is not
all the love is dead and gone, or where did I go wrong
but in the ruins of my night I can still pretend, close my eyes and see my life as it could have been
my man breathe my man eat
I wake up and watch him sleep where went all those lovely days
he always said he'd never make the same mistakes his father made
I guess some things you can't escape, but I hope it's not too late
and in the ruins of my night I can still pretend close my eyes and see my life as it could have been
