SHE MEANT IT I SWEAR THAT SHE MEANT IT SHE WHISPERED SO OFTEN "HUSBAND ILL ALWAYS BE HERE WITH YOU" ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS IS VALUELESS I WISH I NEVER HEARD HER SPEAK A WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've come here as a man in shambles - worn out from begging on my knees Please, I'm just trying to keep my family together Now, when you saw your lover wore a ring around her finger, why didn't you stop? I have half a mind to make you hurt, to make you bleed, to make you suffer I swear, if you've touched her - oh, heaven Forgive what I would do to you, you monster And think about your children? They'll never believe what you've done Listen, I'm begging you, back off Let me rebuild all the things that you shattered She meant it, I swear that she meant it, she whispered so often 'Husband, I'll always be here with you' Always, always, always, always, always, always, always is valueless I wish I'd never heard her speak a word And I hope you see us - your wife and your children And I - buried in the wreckage of your crime While you're laying down your sins Softly leaning in to kiss your guilt goodnight" She is mine. You stole her, somehow tricked her but We'll survive. We will. She loves me dearly-you'll see You are blind. She loves me dearly Breathe in He finally paused to take a breath Then looked down - it felt like staring into hell The man was seated in a chair before him, silent A statue framed in pain and flesh. He thought "Oh, what more can I say to sway him? To make this statue speak? I swear he's made of stone and I am barely stirring up a breeze" And after waiting in the silence Finally turned around to leave Broken and barely through the doorway Breathing slowly, beating hard, he heard him speak "I guess love's a funny thing - the way it fades away without a warning It doesn't ask to be excused And when it's gone - oh, it's gone - and it ain't ever comin' back There is nothing you can do to save it To make it breathe the way it did when you were sliding on the ring Trust me: It's gone for good Now there is nothing you can do to stop me She is happy when she is with me and I am finally alive. I'm sorry"
They remastered and re-recorded most of the instrumentation. With a close listen you can hear basslines and drum progressions across this album that weren’t in the original. Some songs also had extra instruments added to bring presence to the songs, like in Such Small Hands.

cried on the first listen
I've come here as a man in shambles - worn out from begging on my knees
Please, I'm just trying to keep my family together
Now, when you saw your lover wore a ring around her finger, why didn't you stop?
I have half a mind to make you hurt, to make you bleed, to make you suffer
I swear, if you've touched her - oh, heaven
Forgive what I would do to you, you monster
And think about your children?
They'll never believe what you've done
Listen, I'm begging you, back off
Let me rebuild all the things that you shattered
She meant it, I swear that she meant it, she whispered so often
'Husband, I'll always be here with you'
Always, always, always, always, always, always, always is valueless
I wish I'd never heard her speak a word
And I hope you see us - your wife and your children
And I - buried in the wreckage of your crime
While you're laying down your sins
Softly leaning in to kiss your guilt goodnight"
She is mine. You stole her, somehow tricked her but
We'll survive. We will. She loves me dearly-you'll see
You are blind. She loves me dearly
Breathe in
He finally paused to take a breath
Then looked down - it felt like staring into hell
The man was seated in a chair before him, silent
A statue framed in pain and flesh. He thought
"Oh, what more can I say to sway him? To make this statue speak?
I swear he's made of stone and I am barely stirring up a breeze"
And after waiting in the silence
Finally turned around to leave
Broken and barely through the doorway
Breathing slowly, beating hard, he heard him speak
"I guess love's a funny thing - the way it fades away without a warning
It doesn't ask to be excused
And when it's gone - oh, it's gone - and it ain't ever comin' back
There is nothing you can do to save it
To make it breathe the way it did when you were sliding on the ring
Trust me: It's gone for good
Now there is nothing you can do to stop me
She is happy when she is with me and I am finally alive. I'm sorry"
Any real differences from this version versus the original?
It's a remastered version from the 10th anniversary album
i believe it's the same. I'm not sure if there's minute differences but it feels as heavy and true as the original.

If you got used to the old one this was jarring. It sounds very good but there is a significant difference
