I sent you candy and a dozen roses
|
I put my heart into a card three pages long
|
And now here I sit waiting getting over that Moses
|
For the answer I've been fearing all along.
|
|
Now I knew there were wicked women in the city
|
Who scattered shattered dreams like fools gold on the ground
|
I just didn't know that they would be so heartbreak pretty
|
Or that one single icy laugh could cut me down.
|
|
Because I've always tried to keep my pride
|
There's one last desperation measure I haven't tried.
|
If I was to start crying, show my innermost feelings
|
If I was to break down on my bended knees and just plead my case.
|
|
Would it thaw your frozen heart a little?
|
Would you show some compassion?
|
Would you only feel pity and then compelled to turn me away.
|
Would you only feel pity and turn me away.
|
|
My walls catch all my anger
|
Your satin perfumed pillows catch my tears
|
Oh how I wish tonight that I could be that stranger
|
Whose hearing all your same old lies through brand new ears.
|
|
Because I've always tried to keep my pride
|
There's one last desperation measure I haven't tried.
|
If I was to start crying, show my innermost feelings
|
If I was to break down on my bended knees and just plead my case.
|
|
Would it thaw your frozen heart a little?
|
Would you show some compassion?
|
Would you only feel pity and then compelled to turn me away.
|
Would you only feel pity and turn me away.
|
Would you only feel pity and send me on my way.
