I hear the whispers as I walk by

They always start with 'bless her heart'

She's still single and that's such an empty life

She must not be looking all that hard

They've all got their stories

Of why I'm still alone

But the only truth that matters is my own

I want fireworks to paint the sky

I wanna feel the touch that pounds my heart

Momma's always getting on me

She says I don't give anyone a chance

But if I can't feel the music when somebody holds me

How am I supposed to dance?

There might be a few more lonely nights

But I'm not keeping score

It's worth the wait for what I'm waiting for

Fireworks to paint the sky

I wanna feel the flesh that pounds my heart

And just because I won't settle

Oh, I can't live without
