That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be

His cigarette glows in the dark

The living room is still

I tiptoe past the master bedroom where
躡手躡腳地走到客廳

I hear her call sweet dreams

Tearful nights, angry dawns

Their children hate them for the things theyre not

Close the wound, hide the scar

The couples cling and claw
