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,
Everytime he ain't here,
You and your charm creep closer, closer in me,
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 grief
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'd crumble to my knees
At the first sight of you, crawling back to me
To whisper 'will you leave your man?'
Cause you swear that, this time, you can 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 settle for wrong
And ignore the right

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
