When you listen closer, that's when they really punch you in the stomach.
yes! this is true...it was a bit hard to listen to from this divorce angle.
and martstheman, i agree assuming these are marts lyrics, then they are much more personal (at least
from our point of view) than anything he has written before.
now then, to analyze (from the divorce angle):
Lyrics (thanks for posting them ground control)
Precious and Fragile Things, (children)
Need Special Handling.
My God, What Have We Done to You?
We Always Tried to Share, (parents taking care of their children)
The Tenderest of Care.
Now Look What We Have Put you Through.
Things Get Damaged, (relationships) Things Get Broken.
I Thought We'd Manage,
But Words Left Unspoken, (realizing its too late to fix things)
Left Us So Brittle,
There Was So Little Left to Give.
Angels With Silver Wings, (children)
Shouldn't Know Suffering.
I Wish I Could Take the Pain For You. (parent wishing his children wouldn't suffer on his behalf)
If God Has A Masterplan, (maybe frustration, hoping that things happen for a reason)
Then Only He Understands.
I hope It's Your Eyes He's Seeing Through.
Things Get Damaged,
Things Get Broken.
I Thought We'd Manage,
But Words Left Unspoken,
Left Us So Brittle,
There Was So Little Left to Give.
I Pray You Learn To Trust, (telling the children that its going to be ok despite what has happened)
Have Faith in Both of Us.
And Keep Room In Your Heart For Two. (don't be angry, don't place blame)
Things Get Damaged,
Things Get Broken.
I Thought We'd Manage,
But Words Left Unspoken,
Left Us So Brittle,
There Was So Little Left to Give.
ok thanks peter!
