lyrics

I love you
But you're impossible,
so insufferable to love.
I adore you,
But you keep drinking
and now you're sinking
into your hell.

I've loved you ever since I can remember,
And I love your gentle heart with all its stains.
But you seem so set on burning up your body,
until nothing but your skeleton remains.

I love you
But you're impossible,
so insufferable to love.
I adore you,
But you keep lying
and now I'm trying
to cut you loose.

I Know that you're a really decent person,
and I love you with every ounce of all my pain.
But you liquify your soul with your bad habit,
until nothing but your hollow shell remains.

And I had hoped,
but it's impossible.
And I had tried,
but to no avail.
And Now it seems
my only option,
is to turn my back on you.

But I love you
But you're impossible,
so insufferable to love.
I adore you
But you keep drinking
And I've been thinking
and I won't let you drag me down.

I hope that you don't take my words the wrong way,
and I hope that you break free from all your chains.
But nothing's gonna stop you going nowhere,
until nothing but your hollow shell,
and nothing but your skeleton,
and nothing but your memory remains.

And I love you
But you're impossible,
so insufferable to love.
I adore you
but you keep drinking
And now I’m sinking
Into your hell.

about

Svavar Knutur image

Svavar Knutur

A troubadour of humble beginnings and rural upbringing, Svavar Knútur's music tells stories of love, tragedies, sadness and redemption, looking back at his country's sad and shame-filled history. His voice always seem to strike a chord with his audiences, along with his decadently charming on-stage persona, his concerts at times comprised of stories within stories and songs within songs. ... more
