Letra The 'm' word Hostage Calm

The 'm' word

Is it true?
That he’ll never put a ring on you?
You’re abused, but is that the worst
He’s done to you?
It’s a sad time to be young,
Knowing the worst has just begun.

Meridith, do you really want to marry him?

This could end up an embarrassment, and
You’ll have to keep his name.

Meridith, do you think that he’ll be fair with it?
‘Cause all I’ve heard is his disparagement
Towards “you and him.”
But time isn’t on your side…

[Chorus]

Meridith, I know you feel the options narrowing.
With no proposals, twenty’s harrowing.
You hear their whispers grow.

Meridith, it’s apparent that he’s scared of it
And only seconds from “The hell with it!”
Don’t be remiss,
Hangin’ with guys like him.

Please bear in mind,
To him, that word brings back to life
Decades of unending fights.

Oh, he’s prepared for as Cold a War as
His parents endured.
So be careful when you put yourself out there…
You’ll say “I do.”
He’ll say “I do not know…”

It’s a sad time to be young,
Knowing the worst has just begun.
