lyrics

I'm gonna take it a little easier
gonna try and do things to please ya
and make a couple of changes or two

gonna start with all these bottles
no more drowning my sorrows
gonna take em out and wipe the table clean

Chorus
Cause things got a little mixed up
since you told me you wanna give up
and I'm struggling to get my head around that
Oh you say it oh so simple
but those words are gonna cripple me now

Verse
I know I've not been honest
and it looks like I couldn't care less
but sometimes it's easier to build a wall

I know that doesn't help much
but it's better than getting your heart crushed
We're all too scared to face the truth

Chorus
Cause things got a little mixed up
since you told me you wanna give up
and I'm struggling to get my head around that
Oh you say it oh so simple
but those words are gonna cripple me now

Cripple me now

Bridge

Chorus
Cause things got a little mixed up
since you told me you wanna give up
and I'm struggling to get my head around that
Oh you say it oh so simple
but those words are gonna cripple me now

Cripple me now
