The Girl Lyrics

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.

And when you cry a piece of my heart dies, knowing that I may have been the cause,
If you were to leave, fulfill someone elses dreams, I think I might totally be lost.

But 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.

Meaning::

He's in love with a girl who does everything for him to keep the relationship working. Even though he's off doing his own thing and what he wants, he promises to be faithful to her and he hates to see her sad because he think it's his fault. He can't see himself with anyone else but that and he loves her because she's not materialistic and she's the real thing.

This song is definitely about/for Leah Miller (from Much Music).

I absolutely love the very last part with the piano, from 4:55 on...it gives me shivers every time.

It gives me shivers too, it's my favorite part of the song haha. It's so beautiful.

Makes me want to cry. I am so in love with this song, it is beyond adorable.

"And when you cry, a piece of my heart dies, knowing that I may have been the cause." Gets me every time.

Ahhh. I can barely handle it.

that part is a little to emotionally trite for my taste still a great song though

i always forget that the piano part is still this song. It jsut doesnt really fit, but it is pretty. Also, does anyone have the definate lyrics for the piano part? the parts he kinda whispers?

k. meaning is basically exactly as Sakari stated: "He's in love with a girl who does everything for him to keep the relationship working. Even though he's off doing his own thing and what he wants, he promises to be faithful to her and he hates to see her sad because he think it's his fault."

he just wants it to work.

the part about seeing her cry is really powerful, and the entire verse with "i'm yours to keep" is amazing.

i love how the song transitions from sortof slow/normal pace, then transitions to louder and mroe energetic to practically doleful. it's interesting
