Lyrics

?And She Says?
Capers Simmons

VERSE I
And she says, ?If you?re leaving, leave the car ? take the train.
You?ll be back before tomorrow, and you?ll follow again..?
I try to tell her it?s the last time that I?m gonna leave her.
And she says, ?If you?re telling me the truth then you lied.
I know you better than you know yourself ? do you think your pride
Is so much stronger than your reason or love this time?
I?m gonna be with you until you learn to like it, boy.?

VERSE II
And she says, ?I?m a lover, not a fighter ? you can fight by yourself.
You can cry and you can scream and you can shout, you can yell
But I won?t listen ?til you realize you?re the only one angry.?
And she says, ?You?re a coward; duck and cover behind your wall of shame.
Try and tell yourself you?re stronger, but it all ends the same.
Come walking back with your head held high in the air
As if your coming home was something you?d decided, boy.?

CHORUS I
But I defy her to find me running home
Running home
And I try to deny her and let her go
But I can?t fight the fire she ignites inside my soul
So I cry out for water
And she says, ?No.?

VERSE III
And she says, ?You can fool yourself forever, but you can?t fool me twice.
When first you left I admit that I broke down and I cried,
But then you made it such a habit I became quite accustomed.
It?s not commitment, it?s not promise, pledge or prison you fear.
The thought of failing me and losing love is too much to bear.
You think that leaving me makes certain I can never leave you,
But don?t you see? I love you more than you deserve it, boy.?

CHORUS II
And I fell down the wishing well, beat my quarter to the bottom
And I wished that I had wings so I could fly
But my wings would never work from the moment that I got them
So I yelled, ?I?ll fly myself!?
And she says, ?Try.?

CHORUS III
And I bored a secret door through the wall around her castle
And I found another wall square in my way
But she raised the iron gate and I?m standing at the threshold
And it?s mine to stand or run.
And she says, ?Stay.?

TAG
So I fly, but flying blind I find myself back at her doorstep. And I say,
?I'll be well, all by myself.?
And she says, ?Try.?
