Diamond And A Tether lyrics

Pity
Take pity on me
Because I�m not half the man that I should be
Always turning to run
From the people I should not be afraid of
And darlin' you should know
That I have fantasies 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 wont swim
Who wont 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 gonna see
Who could out do the things that you do to me

[Chorus]
I know you can�t hold out forever
Waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won�t fly
Who will take to the skies
If he thinks that 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]
'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
