Death Cab For Cutie
a diamond and a tether
Pity, take pity on meBecause IÂ?m not have 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
ItÂ?s like love is a lesson
That I canÂ?t learn
So I make the same mistakes at each familiar turn
I know you canÂ?t hold out forever
Waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who wonÂ?t swim
Who wonÂ?t dip his toe in
Just to keep you here with him
IÂ?ve got this habit I abhor
When we go out, IÂ?m always watching the door
As if thereÂ?s someone IÂ?m going to see
Who could out do the things that you do to me
I know you canÂ?t hold out forever
Waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who wonÂ?t fly
Who wonÂ?t take to the skies
If he thinks youÂ?re about to say goodbye
Pity, take pity on me
Because IÂ?m not half the man that I should be
And I donÂ?t blame you, youÂ?ve had enough
With all these empty promises and countless bluffs
I know you canÂ?t hold out forever
Waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who wonÂ?t jump
When heÂ?s falls in love
He just stands with his toes on the edge
And he waits for it to disappear again.
