lyrics
I think I understand the reason you
won't stay with me.
You think a ring upon your hand will solve
your insecurity.
So go ahead and play your games
if that's what you must do.
Nothing here remains the same,
but the way I feel for you.
I can watch you walk away and I know I'll get by,
and I know just what to say, but honey,
I can't tell a lie.
So figure out what you must do, because you think you're so damn clever.
You can marry any time you want,
but a lover is forever.
You can marry any time you want,
but a lover is forever.
