From the recording Cardinal
Lyrics
I'm surprised by your sweetness,
Your steady company.
After years of being let down,
Every chance that I thought I could breathe.
I'm not after your money,
Low maintenance loving is all I need.
Just,
Show up for me,
And I'll show up for you.
But now this guessing game,
Is making me doubt,
All those gentle,
Conversations,
We got used to talking about.
Honey it was going so good.
Why the hell would you pull the plug?
When,
All I ever even wanted was a little bit of your love.
I'm sorry you've been bruised,
By another lover before.
But it's hard to give you my heart in her shadow.
Maybe I was a little confused,
Or a little insecure.
Or maybe you're not the kind of lover that I should've been looking for.
I want a general.
He's got big shoes to fill.
Cuz he will follow me,
Patiently,
Through love and war.
I want a general.
He's got big shoes to fill.
Cuz he will follow me,
Cuz I'm the Queen
Of love and war.
Now I'm suffering your silence.
I can't say I'm surprised.
Given all your second guessing,
What with me trying to change your mind.
Out of the dozen,
I wasn't the dime.
I was the diamond and you passed me by.
Out of the dozen,
I wasn't the dime,
I was the diamond and you passed me by.
I am the diamond who's shining on by.
