Sing the words I cannot say
Say them on another day
Fragile words like these will cut your tongue
Was I good enough was I bad enough
When I wanted more you had enough
But nobody's gonna try for you
Nobody's gonna do like I for you

Every slow-lit cigarette
That nervous hands can barely get the courage I
Could always feel your eyes
And those dresses you made look like gowns
You're a sinner but the devil even turned you down
But nobody's gonna try for you
Nobody's gonna do like I for you
Nobody's gonna cry for you
Nobody's gonna love you
Nobody's gonna do like I for you

Hold me like you never could
I'll hold you like I said I would
I won't breathe no shame between
Your feather lips will fly away
Well, I hope they come back down someday
‘cause nobody's gonna try for you
Nobody's gonna do like I for you

Somebody's getting by for you
I don't just break into somebody I knew
I'd die for you
