Song lyrics The Girl by City And Colour

I wish I could do better by you,
Cause that's what you deserve.
You sacrifice so much of your life,
In order for this to work.

While I'm off chasing my own dreams,
Sailing around the world,
Please know that I'm yours to keep,
My beautiful girl.

When you cry a piece of my heart dies,
Knowing that I may have been the cause,
If you were to leave, fulfil someone else's dreams,
I think I might totally be lost.

You don't ask for no diamond rings,
No delicate string of pearls,
That's why I wrote this song to sing,
My beautiful girl.

**Section 2**

I wish I could do better by you,
Cause It's what you deserve.
You sacrifice so much of your life,
In order for this to work.

While I'm off chasing my own dreams, (my own dreams)
Sailing around the world, (around the world)
Please know that I'm yours to keep,
My beautiful girl.

When you cry a piece of my heart dies,
Knowing that I may have been the cause,
If you were to leave, fulfil someone else's dreams,
I think I might totally be lost.

But you don't ask for no diamond rings, (diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls, (string of pearls)
That's why I wrote this song to sing,
My beautiful girl.

But you don't ask for no diamond rings, diamond rings
No delicate string of pearls, string of pearls
That's why I wrote this song to sing,
My beautiful girl.
