Delayed Devotion

(album: Rockferry - 2008)

It seems you wanna give me
A lifetime of security
Down on your dying knees
I watch you beg I watch you plead
But your words come much too late
My love for you has turned to hate
Cos you've taken too much time
To show me that you're mine

When I drop you boy
You'll need another toy
One that won't stand up for herself
When I knock you down
You'll need another town
Where somebody's gonna talk to you
You just let me wait now it's too late
For your delayed, delayed devotion

You try to convince me
About the possibilities
But I know that all your poetry
Just comes from insecurity
Cos your actions mean nothing no more
When it's what I've been waiting for
Cos you've taken too much time
To show me that you're mine

When I drop you boy
You'll need another toy
One that won't stand up for herself
When I knock you down
You'll need another town
Where somebody's gonna talk to you
Cos you just let me wait now it's too late
For your delayed devotion

You played me for a fool for too long
Blinded by your lies I never saw you're wrong
I'm no longer under your spell
Hear it in this song, you can go to hell

When I drop you boy
You'll need another toy
One that won't stand up for herself
When I knock you down
You'll need another town
Where somebody's gonna talk to you
You just let me wait and now it's too late
For your delayed, delayed devotion
