Undone

The leaves are piled up by your door
And I hear the screen door telling me that you ain't sleeping right
And it's in your face when you go to work
This darkness in your eyes
And I know that she don't come round anymore
When the winter days start closing in around you
And you hide away broken and bedridden
And you're allowed to let it hurt a while
So long as it don't drown you

Boy, I know what's getting you down
But there's no point missing her now
'Cause what's done undoing can't come undone

And you used to nod when I'd see you around
Because she left you bleeding in the cobblestone alley
That runs between our houses
Where the endless rain don't run off right
But it sticks around for days

And I know what's getting you down
But there's no point missing her now
'Cause what's done undoing can't come undone

'Cause I've been around a lot longer than you, boy
And how I learned to live without some twenty years ago
And now that's how I can tell you're no stranger to sadness
You give our hearts up every time but come back empty handed
And I bet you never thought to ask

'Cause I don't have the needle or the thread to stem the tide
Of blood that drains away from your cold veins every time
You try to stitch together
Don't ask me how this came undone
'Cause what's done undoing can't come undone
