 Been  waiting  to find
 you  could've been happier  given the time
 If  he'd make  up his  mind
 You'd  give yourself  to anybody who would  cross that line
 And  it was never  a question
 He  was crowing  for  repair
 You'd  give him  love and affection
 But  you couldn't keep  him there
 Get  over  regrets
 While  you were sleeping with the angels  he was under the bed
 And  the more  skin that you  shed
 The  more that the air in  your throat will linger
 when  you call him your friend
 And  it was never  a question
 He  was crowing  for  repair
 You'd  give him  love and affection
 But  you couldn't keep  him there
 Staring  at a cold  little hand
 Reading  fault lines in  a shell of a man
 You  were waiting for  a word from above
 Wouldn't  you know it
 No  answer ever did come
 And  it was never  a question
 You  were crowing  for  repair
 You'd  give him  love and affection
 But  you couldn't keep  him there
