Fences - FAILURE SCULPTURES

oh the devil has taken my baby away from me
and I'm not sure what I could've done differently 
I tried everything
and maybe I just tried too hard, maybe I tried barely 
maybe trying scares me
I know I'm not 23, my age is catching up with me
now I'm not so pretty

well I know our love is blaring loud
from all the houses we've moved out
well I know our love is blaring loud
from all the houses we've moved out

oh the devil has taken my lady away from me
and I'm not sure what I could've sung differently 
this is the melody
I'm really not that strong, you see
she's stubborn as a cedar tree
I'm breakin' like a levee 
maybe we just planned too far and sewed our future out of yarn
when we should be weaving

well I know our love is blaring loud
from all the houses we've moved out
well I know our love is blaring loud
from all the houses we've moved out

what the devil has come of me lately? this isn't me
and I'm not sure what I could've brought differently
this is the gift we need
I know you wanna sting me, but honey it's not working
cause all the bees are walking
and maybe it's the birthday card I buried in my mother's yard
she'll read it when she's talking
