Oh when the fear settles in
When absurdity grabs me by the hand
When my future's gone dim
When my thick's turned thin
Look away
And when my face turns spoilt
Just cause I won't do what I'm told
When I break like a child
'Cause I won't get it all
Walk away

And please, don't tell me you understand
'Cause what's a girl to do with such a good man
And please, don't tell me you understand
'Cause what's a girl to do with such a good man

And when I say, I can't bear
Holding on to what will be taken away
When I'd rather let go
And pretend all is lost
Look away
And when my eyes sink deep
And I'd rather kill what I can't keep
When I beg for your pity
'Cause I want you as low as I
Look away

And please, don't tell me you understand
'Cause what's a girl to do with such a good man
No please, don't tell me you understand
'Cause what's a girl to do with such a good man

And please, don't tell me you understand
'Cause what's a girl to do with such a good man
And please, don't tell me you understand
'Cause what's a girl to do with such a good man
'Cause what's a girl to do with such a good man
