Lyrics City and Colour

City and Colour

The Girl

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

Fulfill 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

ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh

One, two, one two three four

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 ('round the world)

Please know that I'm yours to keep

My beautiful girl

And when you cry a piece of my heart dies

Knowing that I may have been the cause

If you were to leave and fulfill 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

ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh

ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh

ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh

ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh

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.
