Better Homes And Gardens - Taking Back Sunday

When you took that ring off, balled it in your fist

Eyes like a smoking gun

Surprised at what you did

So don’t even think for one second your following me in

My parents are home, 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’d done

The courage that must have took left me utterly speechless

And though it came as no surprise I still couldn’t believe it

You’ll never be happy

You’ll never be happy

But it was all for nothing

Yea it was all a waste

You held on tight and for dear life

But it was all for nothing

When you took that ring off

Threw it at your feet

You didn’t say a word

Much less look at me

The courage that must have took I just couldn’t believe it

In that moment you were perfect

And it made all the bullshit seem worth it

But it was all for nothing

Yea it was all a waste

You held on tight and for dear life

But it was all for nothing

Yea it was all a waste

You held on tight

(Held on tight)

And for dear life

(For dear life)

But it was all for nothing

(Held on tight and for dear life)

(We held on tight for dear life)

(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

It was all a waste

And now you’ll never be happy

Oh you’ll never be happy

Cause it was all for nothing

It was all a waste

You held on tight and for dear life

But it was all for nothing

Yea it was all a waste

We held on tight

(Held on tight)

And for dear life

(And for dear life)

But it was all for nothing

(Held on tight and for dear life)

(We held on tight)

When you took off that ring

(For dear life)

When you took off that ring

(Held on tight)
