Текст песни A Diamond And a Tether

Pity, take pity on me 'Cause I'm not half the man that I should be Always turning to run From the people I should not be afraid of And darling, you should know That I have fantasies about being alone It's like love is a lesson That I can't learn I make the same mistakes at each familiar turn 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 'Cause if there's someone I'm gonna see Who could outdo the things you do to me And 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 you 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 Of all these empty promises and countless bluffs 'Cause I know you can't hold out forever Waiting 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
