Leader of the Landslide Letra - The Lumineers

[Lyrics "Leader of the Landslide"] 

Every night, I saw you there 

In your old wicker chair 

Singing, ooh 

You were wrong, I was right 

Didn't matter in a fight 

Singing, ooh 

Coffee mug, filled it up 

Always knew what it was 

Singing, ooh 

Been on your side for years 

You could never love without crying 

Ooh 

Is she dead? Is she fine? 

Every day, every night 

Fate has dealt me a lonely blow 

I said, ooh 

Tried to help, but only hurt 

In the end, I made it worse 

Singing, ooh 

Is she dead? Is she fine? 

Every day, every night 

Give back my keys, give back my chair 

Take back those clothes you always left on the floor 

You drove me wild, drove me insane 

Drank the whole bottle and forgot my name 

All I ever wanted was a mother for the first time 

Finally, I can see you as the leader of the landslide 

She left, she left, the writing's on the wall 

Please believe me, I smell the alcohol 

The only thing I know is that we're in too deep 

And maybe when she's dead and gone, I'll get some sleep 

You blamed it all on your kids 

We were young, we were innocent 

You told me a lie, fuck you for that 

Fuck all your pride and fuck all your prayers 

And all this time, I waited like a fool, and for the first time 

Finally, I can see you as the leader of the landslide 

She left, she left, the writing's on the wall 

Please believe me, don't answer when she calls 

The only thing I know is that we're in too deep 

And maybe when she's dead and gone, I'll get some sleep 

Out there on my own, I was feeling so alone 

Like a poltergeist in the afterlife 

Fading by degrees, I was shaking in the knees 

In the aftermath of this broken glass 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh  

Oh, oh, oh, oh
