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,

Every time he ain't here

You and your charm creep closer

Closer in here

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 greed,

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?

You sweared 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 me before.

So stand beside the river you cried

And let yourself down!

Look how you want me now that I don't need you!
