A Diamond and a Tether Lyrics

	A Diamond And A Tether

	Pity, take pity on me.
	'Cause I'm not half the man that I should be.
	Always turning to run,
	from the people I should not be afraid of.

	And darling, you should know
	that I have fantasies about being alone.
	It's like love is a lesson,
	that I can't learn.
	I make the same mistakes at each familiar turn.

	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 to 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.
