Lyrics
?My, my head!?
Is what she said.
Is it the cause of the riot of all those lies
What you want to smile at
All I said is it will take me from,
Take me away from this
Pre Chorus
I just stepped outside myself
I don?t even know if I can say anyway
I only believe, I said I?ll only believe
In anything or nothing that tears my heart out
?Sit, sit down!?
And listen for second
To the rhyme, to reason of all these lies
What you want to keep you from smiling
Baby, I?m takin you
Take you away from this
Pre Chorus
Chorus
It breaks my heart to find you there
It breaks me down as if I don?t care
I only believe, I said I only believe
In anything?
With her eyes and compromise, baby
When I never thought I wanted you
Don?t you want to fold all you said
You don?t know why
You don?t, baby, do you?
Pre Chorus
Chorus
Bridge
Oh sugar, don?t move so softly
Oh baby, don?t move so, so
Oh sugar, don?t leave so quickly because I?m
just getting started
Oh baby, don?t move so softly
Oh sugar, don?t wander away
Oh baby, don?t look so likely
Because I don?t know if I could take it
Pre Chorus
