I thought I told you, he’d be home soon
Could’t help myself, you’re too good to be true
I fall short each time
Every time he needs
You and you town keep closer, closer in here
Like a fool for fire, I fall, with my pride and all
Like a bomb before explosion
Ticking by your call
You’re the wiser one, this sky is hungry
And I’m just a child who longs on her knees

But I found a boy who I love more
Than I ever did you before
So stand beside the river, I cried
And let yourself down
Look how you want me now that I don’t need you

So, you thought that I crumble to my knees
At the first I told you, calling back to me
To whisper ‘will you leave your man?’
'Cause you sweared in this time you can’t stand by me
I won’t stand by you

'Cause I found a boy who I love more
Than I ever did you before
So stand beside the river I cried
And let yourself down
Look how you want me now that I don’t need you

I ain’t yours for no taking
You must be mistaken
I could never look into your eyes, and stand for the world
And ignore who I

Well I found a boy that loves me more
Than you ever did before
So stand beside the river you cried
And let yourself down
Look how you want me now that I don’t need you
