Diamond and a Tether
I m not sure about the Am part in the verses
Verses:
Pity, take pity on me
Because I m not the man that I should be
I m always turning to run
From the people I should not be afraid of
And darling, you should know
That I have fanta-sies about being alone
It s like love is a lesson
That I can t learn
So I make the same mistakes at each familiar turn
Chorus:
I know you can t hold out forever
Waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won t swim
Who won t 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 watching the door
As if there s someone I m going to see
Who could out-do the things that you do to me
I know you can t hold out forever
Waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won t fly
Who won t take to the skies
If he thinks you re about to say goodbye
Pity, take pity on me
Because 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
Chorus with a different bit at the end:
I know you can t hold out forever
Waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won t jump
When he s falls in love
He just stands with his toes on the edge
And he waits for it to disappear again
