lyrics

He doesn’t want to marry me
That’s OK I don’t need a ring
He doesn’t want to change what we’ve got
That’s OK but I don’t want us coasting

I tell him I need him to try
Put in some effort once in awhile

So won’t somebody tell him
That I am so close to breaking
Cause he doesn’t listen to me
So can somebody tell him
That we are so close to breaking
Cause he won’t take me seriously

Or is he waiting for me to leave?
Is he waiting for me to leave?

All he wants is me, a beer, and a book
And to him that sounds pretty good
But what I want is him, a whim, and adventure
Not just cuddle, settle or surrender

I tell him to think of us
Like something living that needs his touch

So won’t somebody tell him
That I am so close to breaking
Cause he doesn’t listen to me
So can somebody tell him
That we are so close to breaking
Cause he won’t take me seriously

Or is he waiting for me to leave?
Is he waiting for me to leave?

And when I ask him if he wants a future with me
He says yes but I don’t know if he’ll do the work that we need
Cause he don’t listen

So won’t somebody tell him
That I am so close to breaking
Cause he doesn’t listen to me
So can somebody tell him
That he is so close to losing
Cause he won’t take me seriously

Or is he waiting for me to leave?
Is he waiting for me to leave?
Is he waiting for me to leave?
Is he waiting for me to leave?
