Say 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, yeah, you had enough

But nobody's gonna try for you
Nobody's gonna do like I for you

And 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 try for you
Nobody's gonna lie for you
Nobody's gonna do like I for you

Hold me like you never could
I'll hold you like I said I would
Air or light won't breathe nor shine between
With your feather lips, yeah, you 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 bend, I don't just break in two
Somebody like me, I'd die for you
