[Verse 1] Why does she wait?
When he's turning her away
She thought she was out of the woods
But he led her heart astray
“It’s a cancer,” she said
“And it's killing both of us”
All these tears just turn those gears to rust

[Verse 2] He can hardly bear
The thought of her elsewhere
Passion overfed is a monster
Pulling out its hair
“I can't believe I spent my youth like this”, she thought
Weary from the wars she wished she’d never fought
Bleary-eyed and distraught

[Bridge] All love ends up with someone feeling so alone
She leaves behind breadcrumbs that are the size of loaves

[Verse 3] She says it isn't in the cards
Tweety birds and little stars
Surround his head like a crown of thorns
He made his bed to lie in it without her
