Please, just deliver me peace
And a chance to stay
It ain't even closure
I need it for recovery

Well I sink in the water
I cry at the alter
I 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 had thought
That she'd wear my name
Shame, how you look when you fell
And babe, I look that way

Well you say that we're over
There's nothin' to show for
The years you spent tryin' 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 the 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

No 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
