The letting go

Ooh, lover don't you know
All that's left now is some hope?
Thread worn thin on all our clothes
But where we've been is what we choose

All you wanted was a wife
a lover to lie down beside at night
A patient heart easing your troubled mind
A home to keep you from the outside

Ooh, lover can't you tell
a broken love from chiming wedding bells?
Lover, help me to be
A woman with only the truest offering
