Unraveling Lyrics & Tabs by Liz Longley
Unraveling
guitar chords lyrics
Boxes and baskets of all her old things
Porcelain dolls, portrait paintings
She swore they'd be worth something
They're just gathering dust in my attic somewhere
And she's lost in a room where she sits and she stares
Her mind as blank as the walls
Her memory as vacant as the halls
I'm the only daughter of her oldest son
I knew her well before her spirit was gone
And her life is a thread woven into every part of me
She is unraveling, she is unraveling
She looks in my eyes and asks me my name
Every five minutes I tell her the same
She smiles but it's cold and dead
And I'm screaming out loud in my head
Every five minutes I tell her the same
She smiles but it's cold and dead
And I'm screaming out loud in my head
I'm the only daughter of her oldest son
I knew her well before her spirit was gone
And her life is a thread woven into every part of me
She is unraveling, she is unraveling
I tried to pull her back
Stories and photographs of her sisters and brothers, her children who love her
She can't remember but how could a heart forget?
I'm the only daughter of her oldest son
I knew her well before her spirit was gone
And her life is a thread woven into every part of me
She is unraveling, she is unraveling
I've been tearing through boxes on nights I can't sleep
Searching for memories of who she used to be
