[ti:A Better Wife] [ar:Erin McKeown] [al:Grand] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.23]A Better Wife - Erin McKeown [00:00.93]Written by：Erin McKeown [00:01.12]I'm just something else he tried [00:03.72] [00:06.27]A catalogue of interests in a catalogue of lives [00:10.58] [00:11.55]I hid myself from him I wouldn't say it was a lie [00:15.60] [00:16.82]But hiding worked its way into the way we lived our lives [00:21.09] [00:21.89]It was clear that he was troubled he had trouble with his pride [00:26.62] [00:27.51]But I could never tell if the fault was his or mine [00:31.56] [00:32.81]So I drew myself away I wouldn't say I left behind [00:37.22] [00:38.18]A man who would never know the man he was inside [00:42.42] [00:54.51]In a moment he was gone I could see that he had died [00:58.91] [00:59.60]By the quickening of blood and the fluttering of eyes [01:04.22] [01:05.11]So I held him to my breast like all the better wives [01:09.38] [01:10.62]Who furnish men with love and never leave their side [01:14.72] [01:48.73]I'm just something else he tried [01:51.48] [01:54.03]The salt that's left behind after tears have dried [01:57.92] [01:59.07]And I suppose that I'll go on after all it was my life [02:03.50] [02:04.45]And all that I supposed I held has come to be untied [02:08.65]
