Better Homes and Gardens Songtext

von Taking Back Sunday

When you took that ring off, balled it in your fists,
Eyes like a smoking gun, surprised at what you did
So don't even think for one second, you're following me and
My parents are home, and so is my kid
Just go on that house that you hate
That house that we bought, and failed to make
When you took that ring off I sat there stunned
Parked out in my car surprised by what you do
The courage that much it took left me utterly speechless
And though that came at no surprise I still couldn't believe it

You'll never be happy
You'll never be happy
But it was all for nothing
Yeah it was all a waste
We held on tight in faulty line
But it was all for nothing

When you took that ring off, threw it on your feet
You didn't say a word, much less look at me
The courage that much it took
I just couldn't believe it
And only if you were perfect
It made all that bullshit seem worth it

But it was all for nothing
Yeah it was all a waste
We held on tight in faulty line
But it was all for nothing
Yeah it was all a waste
We held on tight in faulty line
(held on tight in faulty line)
But it was all for nothing
(held on tight in faulty line)

We held on tight in faulty line
We held on tight

So just go on that house that you hate
That house that we bought and failed to make
It was all for nothing, yeah it was all a waste
And now you'll never be happy
Oh you'll never be happy
Cause it was all for nothing
Yeah it was all a waste
We held on tight in faulty line
But It was all for nothing
Yeah it was all a waste
We held on tight in faulty line
(held on tight in faulty line)
But it was all for nothing
(held on tight in faulty line)
(We held on tight in faulty line)
When you took off that ring
When you took off that ring
