Oakley Hall- Free Radicals Lament (Lyrics in Description)

"Free Radicals Lament" from Oakley Hall's album Follow.

Enjoy.

Lyrics below (nowhere are the lyrics posted from this song, so I did my best to decipher. If anyone knows the words to the verses I've added question marks to, please let me know so I can amend them.):

I have a simple sadness,
Hasn't got a name.
Saw two years of our lives
Down a dirty drain.
One relief in freedom,
So happy and so strange.
Walking in the wild wind,
Creature of ever-constant change.

You sang songs of devotion,
Out of the side of your mouth.
I told you that I loved them,
But tried to spit them out.
It's like what this writer told me,
Between sips of wine,
"Sometimes you got a perfect story,
Most times just a bunch of lines."

Our friends would hate and judge us,
What did they ever know?
You said there'd be no love lost (?),
After the after-glow.
What starts like a supernova,
Ends up like a drizzling rain.
You're so happy that it's over,
But isn't it a crying shame?

I have a simple sadness,
Hasn't got a name.
Saw two years of our lives
Down a dirty drain.
Won relief in freedom,
So happy and so strange,
Walking in the wild wind,
Creature of ever-constant change.
