How

How - Marcus Mumford/Brandi Carlile

Lyrics by：Marcus Mumford/Brandi Carlile

Composed by：Marcus Mumford/Brandi Carlile

I had wondered what was done to you

To give you such a taste for flesh

I guess for years I just carried on

Didn't feel much of a choice to suppress

I hope your memory is less vivid than mine

And is free from that awful maple light

I have to say I still wish you had just done it in the dark

So the pictures didn't burn so bright

But I'll forgive you now

Release you from all of the blame I know how

And I'll forgive you now

As if saying the words will help me know how

Please help me know how

I'm afraid it will take a time

I make my case to the Shahanshah as I bring him his cup

And I'll tell him best I can what I need

To build the walls of my Jerusalem back up

And I have reckoned with what you've taken from me

And I killed that liar in my head

I buried him beneath the maple tree

There's no joy in dancing with the dead

But I'll forgive you now

Release you from all of the blame I know how

And I'll forgive you know

As if saying the words will help me know how

How how
