CLUTCHING AT STRAWS.

Clutching at straws

Where’s the applause

For facing the war?

(You ain’t faced nothing!)

You can believe

That up your sleeve

Is maybe some more.

(But you’re still wondering

If you bit off far more than you could chew!)

Clutching at straws

Do you want an alibi

Clutching at straws

Swearing that you gave that try.

But you lie

You didn’t cry

You let her walk out

You couldn’t be wrong.

Clutching at straws

You’re a dead loss

Cause you let her go.

(You ain’t going nowhere!)

You ain’t the heart

To tear apart

Cause when the crunch came…

Your heart was nowhere.

Cause you didn’t have the guts for a heart!

Clutching at straws

The swing see-saws

You still say it’s love.

(But you’re pretending!)

Yes say it hurts

But that is just words

Your love’s been ending…

Since the first day she came into your life!

So you’ve a broken heart that you swear cannot heal

But you never held her close and told her how you feel

And now it’s too late

Cause while she hesitated you were clutching at straws!
