I CRIED FOR US
Written by Kate McGarrigle
As recorded by Rufus Wainwright and Antony on "Sing Me the Songs: Celebrating the Works of Kate McGarrigle" (2013)

Love, it's not I
Who didn't try
Hard enough,
Hard enough;
And this is why
I'm saying goodbye:
I've had enough;
I've had enough.

Love, you don't see
The pain in me.
It's plain enough,
Plain enough.
You're never here
To catch the tears
I cried for us,
I cried for us.

I'll take my share,
But I'll be fair.
There's not much stuff,
Easy enough;
And if you choose,
I'll break the news.
This part is tough,
So very tough.

I've tried and tried
To put aside
The time to talk,
But without luck;
So I'll just pin
This note within
Your coat and leave
The garden gate unlocked.

And this is why
I'm saying goodbye:
I've had enough;
I've had enough.
