I’ve been writing a waltz for this that and the other
I can’t seem to find my way out
But trust is not something to which I’ve grown accustomed
So please lord relieve me from doubt

When you sit on your throne, I’ve often wondered
Does the crown hold the love in your head
Cause when you take your hat off my world fills with thunder
And the doubts turn to reasons instead

And I’d pay you in love
To hear you swing from a note
Mean every word that you said
And I’d rather feel right
Than see you all wrong
In my twisted head

In the quietest of nights and the darkest of notions
When our love seems it’s crumbled again
A heart’s not a heart til the vessels are broken
So you bow down to failure like a gem

And I’d pay you in love
To hear you swing from a note
Mean every word that you said
And I’d rather feel right
Than see you all wrong
In my twisted head

So leave me to doubt and to count all the chances
And to rise and to fall with the tides
You think and you sink but you’re drowning in answers
And a blink clears the salt from your eyes

That he’d pay you in love
To hear you swing from a note
And mean every word that you said
And he’d rather feel right
Then see you all wrong
In his twisted head
