I built a picket fence for you

A simple shrine

We named our kids into honey wine

And laughed

A soft trade to say goodnight

You would you dream to get the morning fast

Woke to a broken home with bitter blinds

Explain too hard try to change your mind

It will love you like it always has

Felt you have a change of heart

I had a heart attack

Sour fruits teeth stained smile wicked

A stagnant life in a body that's made for kicking

Until the first time you got a runners high

When you got sick of loving me back

You know I didn't mean to trap you dear

I hope your smiles as wide as every mile that you've tracked from here

Still stare at the phone all day about once a year

Though I think about you all the time

That sun still eats away at the shape of you baby

I see your face in a heat wave

And a thousand people on the daily

Only God is going to save me

Only God can assuage me

Only God

I built a picket fence for you

A simple shrine

We named our kids into honey wine

And laughed

A soft trade to say goodnight

Night night night

You would you dream to get the morning fast

Felt you have a charge of heart

I had a heart attack

When you got sick of loving me back
