about
Was I wrong to assume that you’d melt at the sight of me?
lyrics
I’ll give you everything you want
Yeah I’ll do that for you.
If you would tell me what was wrong
Then I’d fix it for you
Was I wrong to assume
That you’d melt at the sight of me?
Was I leaving too soon?
With wet pillows behind me
With wet pillows behind me
I’ll do it to spite you.
I’ll tell you anything at all
Yeah, I’ll say it to you.
Then turn around and write a song
And use it against you
Had to stitch up my pride
As it fell into disrepair
Just a bit on the side
Turned around and I wasn’t there.
Turned around and I wasn’t there.
Watching you weep
From a great height above you
I’d intervene
And make it OK for you.
Don’t be deceived,
I’m stronger than steel without you
Lifted the seas
And painted the ocean.
I’ll do it to spite you.
Yeah I’ll do that for you.
If you would tell me what was wrong
Then I’d fix it for you
Was I wrong to assume
That you’d melt at the sight of me?
Was I leaving too soon?
With wet pillows behind me
With wet pillows behind me
I’ll do it to spite you.
I’ll tell you anything at all
Yeah, I’ll say it to you.
Then turn around and write a song
And use it against you
Had to stitch up my pride
As it fell into disrepair
Just a bit on the side
Turned around and I wasn’t there.
Turned around and I wasn’t there.
Watching you weep
From a great height above you
I’d intervene
And make it OK for you.
Don’t be deceived,
I’m stronger than steel without you
Lifted the seas
And painted the ocean.
I’ll do it to spite you.
