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 who 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
