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. i've got this habit i abhor. when we go out i'm always watching the door cause if there's someone i'm gonna see who could outdo the things you do to me.
and i know you can't hold out forever waiting on a diamond and a tether from a boy who won't fly but who will take the skies if he thinks you are about to say goodbye. pity, take pity on me cause i'm not half the man that i should be. and i don't blame you, you've had enough of all these empty promises and countless bluffs.
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 do disappear again.
