(also played throughout as chords):
I thought I told you, he'd be home soon
Couldn't help myself, you're too good to be true.
I fall short each time, every time he ain't here,
You and your charm creep 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, disguised from greed,
And I'm just a child who belongs 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 would crumble to my knees
At the first sight of you, crawling back to me
To whisper 'will you leave your man?'
Cause you sweared that this time you can stand by me.
I won't stand by you.
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.
I ain't yours for no taking,
You must be mistaken
I could never look in your eyes, and settle for wrong
And ignore the right
But I found a boy who loves me more,
Than you ever did before,
So stand beside the river you'll cry,
And let yourself down.
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
