Dressed to the nines New suit shining Flowers in hand Whole world behind me One girl in front of me Calling me handsome Stop it I'm bad with compliments Turning red, no confidence And that was all it took From that moment I was hooked Still haven't removed it Still sitting here wounded Refusing the procedure Can't go through with losing it Cause it keeps me fused to you Stay with me I said Lay with me I begged Delay your exit And I'll change everything Come back to bed and I'll make you my forever queen I can explain the lack of attention, please I'm scratching and clawing trying to keep you pleased But i'm seeing you fleeing and every thing I do Just pushes you away and that can't be true It doesn't make sense to say I try too hard I don't see how that works so don't play that card If I love you let you go, but that sounds like nonsense But I'm falling apart, so you'd know better, I guess I fought so hard and I held on too long All you ever wanted Was all that I could never give you (x2) Keep it short she asks of me But I'm basking in the beauty She's a bird asking for freedom And I'm the one with the key she's seeking Her song is a stunning melody Of missed potential and melancholy Misanthropy and monotony A need to be more, she swears solemnly It's lost on me, sadly I've been blindly happy I never imagined how much pain she was feeling You don't need my permission to leave The caged bird sings but she's singing for me It's a show she believes in to protect my ego So I know now she loves me but she just wants to see though She says maybe some day but I boubt it I just hope she's blissful out there without me If she ever comes back, I won't say I told you so I'll just hold her close until she wants to be let go I fought so hard and I held on too long All you ever wanted Was all that I could never give you (x2) I could put a part in the seven seas and I could serve my heart on a silver sheet and I could climb walls and summit mountain tops But It'd all be too much and you'd tell me to stop Cease and desist, move on with my life Catch and released, see the shimmering twilight I could move the earth and raise the dead from their graves But you're never coming back and it's better that way I fought so hard and I held on too long All you ever wanted Was all that I could never give you (x2)
