V1.
Please, just deliver me peace and a chance to stay.
It ain't even closure I need, it's a recovery.
Well, I'd sink in the water or cry at the altar,
I'd bleed for a minute to say...
____________

CHORUS 1:
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.
____________

V2.
God, if I'd only have thought, then she'd wear my name.
Shame how you look when you fail, and babe, I look that way.
Well, you say that we're over, there's nothing to show for,
The years you spent trying to say...
____________

CHORUS 2:
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 way you will.
____________

PRE-CHORUS:
Please, just a minute now.
Please, just a second now.
Please, just a moment to say...
____________

CHORUS 3:
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.
