Strong Hands

You were the last thing I saw walking into my life but here you are
Or there you were
And I'd never tell you but you're the best thing to happen all year so far, I thought at first
I know I said I wouldn't be another girl to flirt with casually
But I'm no better than the next girl in line. Fine

You can add me to your club, the one I made fun of
I said I'd never waste my time on a random guy
How stupid am I?
I wasn't ready for love, I tried going out on dates
But I told my mom I wouldn't be home late, cause they never stood a chance
All I could think about was your strong hands

One stupid decision led to another
I hate that I told you about my mother and you don't get it
Why did I open up about the things that close me off?
You were drunk when you said you love me, I don't know what I thought

You can add me to your club, the one I made fun of
I said I'd never waste my time on a random guy
How stupid am I?
I wasn't ready for love, I tried going out on dates
But I told my mom I wouldn't be home late, cause they never stood a chance
All I could think about was your strong hands

And the way you held me, or how the sunrise found your eyes;
I swear they'd turn turquoise in the light
God I'm blind
I'm just pretending I can't hear my mother telling me what's to come: "Honey, he's using You, it's time to be done."

Oh you can add me to your club of lovesick girls I made fun of
I swore I'd never waste my time on a conceited guy
How stupid am I?
I wasn't ready for love, I tried going out on dates
But I told my mom I wouldn't be home late, cause they never stood a chance
All I could think about was your strong hands

There's a pathetic part of my head that would rather stay heartbroken instead of leaving You
My sweet mother might have said, "I told you so," but I already know, so she didn't
She asked while I tucked her in, "who takes care of you, Catherine?"
I said, "I do."
