| Please, just deliver me peace and a chance to stay |
| It ain’t even closure I need, it’s a recovery |
| Well, I’d sink in the water or cry at the altar — |
| I’d bleed for a minute to say? |
| That he won’t bring you summer like the way I will |
| And he won’t make you shiver like the way I will |
| And he won’t love your mother like the way I will |
| And he won’t last forever like the way I will |
| God, if I’d only have thought, then she’d wear my name |
| Shame how you look when you fail, and babe, I look that way |
| Well, you say that we’re over, there’s nothing to show for |
| The years you spent trying to say? |
| That she won’t bring me summer like the way you will |
| And she won’t make me shiver like the way you will |
| And she won’t love my mother like the way you will |
| And she won’t last forever like way you will |
| Please, just a minute now |
| Please, just a second now |
| Please, just a moment to say? |
| That he won’t bring you summer like the way I will |
| And he won’t make you shiver like the way I will |
| And he won’t love your mother like the way I will |
| And he won’t last forever like the way I will |
