Marry Me - Washington

Before you go, I want to know: do you want it back?

I know it was your mother’s mother’s, or something like that

I altered it to make it small, I’m sorry for that

Won’t ever fit any of the others, I’m not sorry for that

«Love,» I said, «give me an anchor.»

And when you did, I said, «You're holding me down.»

And it’s now I remember that fateful November

And how, through the terror, you carried me

And it’s now I remember what a liar I was

I can’t believe you would have married me

And give me your hand

You’re almost like a stranger now, or something like that

I should have known what I would do, I’m sorry for that

I wanted to be better than the others, I’m not sorry for that

«Love,» you said, «give me an answer.»

And when I did, I let you down

And it’s now I remember that faithful November

And how, through the terror, you carried me

And it’s now I remember what a liar I was

I can’t believe you would have married me

Oh, don’t be sorry

Please don’t be angry with me

It wasn’t fair, it wasn’t fair

There, there

And it’s now I remember that fateful November

And how, through the terror, you carried me

And it’s now I remember what a liar I was

I can’t believe you would have married me
