When I finally heard the news my dear it wasn't from your mouth He just looked me in the eye and then he let the words spill out Darling I'm so happy you've been waiting for so long To finally find a guy to hold that has more right than wrong And, what's this is he actually for real? At least it was good to know that you had a heart to steal I held it for a while, tell me that's not true My dear we've cleared these last two years, that's been a gift to you. So picture this when you go to kiss I hope that every time you'll think of me And I'm gonna let it get to me (Chorus) I know the scars on your legs I've seen them in my head Like a map up to you When I'm climbing into bed And I don't think that it's fair That he would lie with you there and use My directions to get right there next to you (Repeat these same chords for the rest of the song) Forget the who the what the when the question here is why You set the bar so high and then you dropped it for this guy You're into insincerity it's scary that I wonder Perhaps the bar was raised so high that he just walked right under What's this is it actually for real? Why don't you pick an extra day, call and ask her how she feels Suppose you could just wait a month you'll find out for yourself The worst part is the truth, you're just like everybody else So picture this when you go to kiss I hope That every time you'll think of me Your then and now they will all run out I know he can't compare to what I used to be And I'm gonna let it get to me I know the scars on your legs I've seen them in my head Like a map up to you when I'm climbing into bed And I don't think that it's fair that he would lie with you there And use my directions to get right there next to you. Do you remember when we held each other on the twenty third? As silent as your heartbeat, was the only thing I heard Does he know your dogs names? Or the fact that he can't claim That he knows the scars on your legs Still see them in my head Like a map, up to you When we climb into bed And I don't think that it's fair That I can't lie with you there and use My directions to get right there next to you. (Chorus repeat)
