lyrics
Pity, take pity on me 'cause I’m not half the man that I should be
Always turning to run from the people I should not be afraid of
And darling you should know that I have fantasies about being alone
It’s like love is a lesson I can't learn so I make the same mistakes at each familiar turn
And I know you can't hold out forever waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won't swim but who will dip his toe in just to keep you here with him
I’ve got this habit I abhor when we go out I’m always watching the door
As if there's someone I’m gonna see who could outdo the things that you do to me
And I know you can't hold out forever waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won't fly but who will take to the skies if he thinks that you're about to say goodbye
Pity, take pity on me 'cause I’m not half the man that I should be
And I don't blame you if you've had enough of all these empty promises and countless bluffs
And I know you can't hold out forever waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won't jump when he falls in love
He just stands with his toes on the edge and he waits for it to disappear again
Always turning to run from the people I should not be afraid of
And darling you should know that I have fantasies about being alone
It’s like love is a lesson I can't learn so I make the same mistakes at each familiar turn
And I know you can't hold out forever waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won't swim but who will dip his toe in just to keep you here with him
I’ve got this habit I abhor when we go out I’m always watching the door
As if there's someone I’m gonna see who could outdo the things that you do to me
And I know you can't hold out forever waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won't fly but who will take to the skies if he thinks that you're about to say goodbye
Pity, take pity on me 'cause I’m not half the man that I should be
And I don't blame you if you've had enough of all these empty promises and countless bluffs
And I know you can't hold out forever waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won't jump when he falls in love
He just stands with his toes on the edge and he waits for it to disappear again

I just started listening to this album today and am IN LOVE! Every track is perfect. I'm slightly sad I didn't start listening to boygenius until but happy to be a fan of their music <3
