A Diamond and a Tether

歌詞

Pity, take pity on me 'Cause I'm not half the man that I should be I'm always turnin' to run From the people I should not be afraid of And darlin', you should know That I have fantasies about bein' alone It's like love is a lesson that I can't learn So I make the same mistakes at each familiar turn I know you can't hold out forever Waitin' on a diamond and a tether From a boy who won't swim But who will dip his toe in Just to keep you here with him I've got this habit I abhor When we go out, I'm always watchin' the door As if there's someone I'm goin' to see Who could outdo the things that you do to me I know you can't hold out forever Waitin' on a diamond and a tether From a boy who won't fly But who will take to the skies If he thinks that you're about to say goodbye Pity, take pity on me 'Cause I'm not half the man that I should be And I don't blame you, you've had enough With all these empty promises and countless bluffs 'Cause I know you can't hold out forever Waitin' on a diamond and a tether From a boy who won't jump When he falls in love He just stands with his toes on the edge And he waits for it to disappear again
