A diamond and a tether - ep version

Pity

Take pity on me

'Cause Im 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

Its 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

But who will dip his toe in

Just to keep you here with him

Ive got this habit I abhor

When we go out Im always watching the door

As if theres someone Im 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 youre about to say goodbye

Pity, take pity on me

'Cause Im not half the man that I should be

And I dont blame you youve 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
