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
