Lyrics of The Girl by City and Colour
verse
I wish I could do better by you
′Cause that's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
In order for this to work
While I′m off chasing my own dreams
Sailing around the world
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl
When you cry, a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave
Fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost
chorus
You don′t ask for no diamond rings
No delicate strings of pearls
That′s why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl
verse
(One, two, one, two, three, four)
I wish I could do better by you
'Cause it′s what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
In order for this to work
While I'm off chasing my own dreams (my own dreams)
Sailing around the world (′round the world)
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl
And when you cry, a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave and fulfill someone else′s dreams
I think I might totally be lost
chorus
But you don't ask for no diamond rings (diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls (string of pearls)
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl
But you don′t ask for no diamond rings (diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls (string of pearls)
That′s why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl
outro
(I get so distracted
By some people's reactions
That I don′t see my own faults
For what they are)
Writer(s): Dallas Green
