When I finally heard the news my dear, it wasn't from your mouth He just looked me in the eye and then he let the words spill out Darling I'm so happy, you've been waiting for so long To finally find the guy to hold that has more right than wrong And, what's this, is he actually for real? At least it's good to know that you have a heart to steal I held it for a while, tell me that's not true My dear, we've cleared these last two years, that's been a gift to you
So picture this when you go to kiss I hope that every time you'll think of me And I'm gonna let it get to me
I know the scars on your legs I've seen them in my head Like a map up to you when I'm climbing into bed And I don't think that it's fair that he would lie with you there And use my directions to get right there next to you
Forget the who, the what, the when, the question here is why You set the bar so high and then you dropped it for this guy You're into insincerity, it's scary that I wonder Perhaps the bar was raised so high that he just walked right under
What's this? Is it actually for real? Why don't you pick an extra day and call her, ask her how she feels Suppose if you just wait a month, you'll find out for yourself The worst part is the truth, you're just like everybody else
So picture this when you go to kiss I hope that every time you'll think of me Your then and now, they will all run out I know he can't compare to what I used to be And I'm gonna let it get to me
I know the scars on your legs I've seen them in my head Like a map up to you when I'm climbing into bed And I don't think that it's fair that he would lie with you there And use my directions to get right there next to you
Do you remember when we held each other on the twenty-third? And as silent as your heartbeat was, the only thing I heard
Does he know your dogs' names? Or the fact that he can't claim He knows the scars on your legs, Still see them in my head Like a map up to you when we climb into bed ANd I don't think that it's fair That I can't lie with you there And use my directions to Get right next to you
I know the scars on your legs, I've seen them in my head Like a map up to you when I'm climbing into bed And I don't think that it's fair That he can lie with you there And use my directions to Get right next to you
