Darling, you've got it wrong
It's mixed up, the cords tangled on
You should be with me, not him
Since you got with him, your light has been dim

I'll take the weight
Off your shoulders this time
I'll wait for you in this life
How could he hurt you? He has no right

And I kissed a woman that'll never know me
And she missed the one man that would treat her holy
And I died every day at her sight
Knowing she'll never find love in me

And I walk a road that's meant for lovers only
Couldn't give it up even if she'll never want me
'Cause her sight takes me on a high
The end is nigh if you leave

I'm caught
In the plastic of your sea
If I was him, would you save me?
Would you catch and then release?

I'm only yours
You don't need me this time
You didn't need me in this life
I couldn't settle for other sights

And I kissed a woman that'll never know me
And she missed the one man that would treat her holy
And I died every day at her sight
Knowing she'll never find love in me

And I walk a road that's meant for lovers only
Couldn't give it up even if she'll never want me
'Cause her sight takes me on a high
The end is nigh if you leave
