The Joy Formidable – Cradle Lyrics 12 years ago
It sounds to me like the ending of a relationship.

I can see he says what he means
(I love you/wanna stay together)
I can't say what he means when he says that
I'll pretend a pretty pretend
When all I wanna see is the end of this
(She doesn't want to continue it/has mixed feelings)
I can see he says what he means
We'll deal him sticks and stones and apologies
(All of those terrible things we say when hurt/then take back afterwards)
I wish
Oh, I wish it was through
(Good god I just want out of this terrible fxcking relationship)
Scrape the skies
Get up off your knees
Just lift the marks
And new-found releases
(Screwing herself up to end it finally)
I'll pretend a pretty pretend
When all I wanna see is the end of this
(Perhaps waiting it out in hope that things will change)
I wish
I wish
I wish the cobwebs would cover me
Cover me
Cover me
(She feels teribble and guilty for wanting out)
My vicious tongue
Cradles just one
(She's a strong woman, but not with him)
