The Lyrics
I realize that as she leaves me
I read the books this I mistook for love
she threw away the flowers, though she craved me
I'm not unlike the man she's dreaming of
late proposals late proposals
now it's real when those words came out of me
it's just quite a revelation
what a revelation she just left me
I thought that she would never see another
she seemed so full of sweetness from the start
but marriage just shows
that piece of paper
I shoulda asked for sweetness
right from the start
late proposals late proposals
now it's real when those words came out of me
it's just quite a revelation
what a revelation she just left me
I read the books this I mistook for love
she threw away the flowers, though she craved me
I'm not unlike the man she's dreaming of
late proposals late proposals
now it's real when those words came out of me
it's just quite a revelation
what a revelation she just left me
I thought that she would never see another
she seemed so full of sweetness from the start
but marriage just shows
that piece of paper
I shoulda asked for sweetness
right from the start
late proposals late proposals
now it's real when those words came out of me
it's just quite a revelation
what a revelation she just left me
