I thought I told you, he'd be home soonCouldn't help myself, you're too good to be trueI fall short each timeEverytime he ain't hereYou and your charm get closer, closer in hereLike a fool for fire I fall, with my pride and allLike a bomb before explosionTicking by your callYou're the wiser one, disguised from greedAnd I'm just a child who belongs on her knees
But I found a boy who I love moreThan I ever did you beforeSo stand beside the river I criedAnd let yourself downLook how you want me now that I don't need you
So, you thought that I crumble to my kneesAt the first sight of youCrawling back to me
To whisper 'will you leave your man?'Cause you swear that this time you can stand by meI won't stand by you
Cause I found a boy who I love moreThan I ever did you beforeSo stand beside the river I criedAnd let yourself downLook how you want me now that I don't need you
I ain't yours for no takingYou must be mistakenI could never look into your eyesAnd settle for wrongAnd ignore the rightWhen I found a boy who loves me moreThan you ever did beforeSo stand beside the river you cryAnd let yourself downLook how you want me now that I don't need you
