I Release You Video (MV)

You tell me that you love me. I wonder where the time went
I remember when you said the words less silent
Back when there was heavenly pleasantry in peasantry
We only have each other. Now we only have the memory
Swore to me on bended knee from seventeen to seventy
Happy with a life lived poor and contentedly
Powerless. Dowerless. Nonetheless our vows were blessed
Happy hand in hand with only sand within the hourglass
This engaged hand is promised to a changed man.
Being honest how can we go on with pre-arranged plans
How can I be faithful to a love lost
To you, Ebenezer, who refuse to be above cost
Turns at being timeless has turned surprise less
You yearn to earn more alluring prizes
I see the man you wish to be
So different from our history
If something brings you happiness here, my dear, it isn't me
I release you
I release you
I release, I release you
I release you
I release
I release, I release you
You have no love for love because you've found a substitution
Traded being poor for having poorer constitution
You minimize. Criticize. I see where your vision lies
Shrouded by your bitter eyes. Gown foolish pennywise
At home you speak indifference. You've grown to seek deliverance
In late night visits to your mistress of business
Find peace in this illicitness of digits
At least may spreadsheets keep you warm as our bedsheets.
I release you from the shackles of your past
Unrelenting, bitterness, anxiety, brooding and resenting
Content to contending. Gain unending
You tell me that you love me, the words are just pretending
You tell me that you love me, I see the hesitation
An empty invitation to a joyless celebration
Two lives for one life. A losing calculation
With love for whom I love, my love, I cease your obligation
I release you
I release you
I release, I release you
I release you
I release
I release, I release you
