[Verse 1]

Perfect, easy,

 so good to me
    
So why's there

 a pit in my g

ut in the shap

e of you?

Distract mysel

f, say it's so

methin' else

Maybe I'm just

 overwhelmed, 

maybe I'm conf

used


[Pre-Chorus]
            
Barely sleep w

        
hen you sleep 

next to me
         
But I keep thi

              
nkin' I'll fin

     
d a cure
            
I say that I'm

              
 fine, I tell 


you all the ti

me
      
I've never fel

t so happy and

 sure


[Chorus]
    
But I'm so sca

red of my guit

ar
          
'Cause it cuts


 right through

 to the heart
          
Yeah, it knows

 me too well s

o I got no exc

use
            
I can't lie to

              
 it the same w

         
ay that I lie 

       
to you

I'm so scared 

of my guitar
     
If I play it, 

then I'll thin

k too hard
          
Once you let t

he thought in,

 then it's alr

eady done
            
So I lay in yo

              
ur arms and pr

         
etend that it'

     
s love


[Verse 2]
  
If I was brave

 and noble lik

e you

I'd have the n

erve to just s

top stringin' 

you along
   
But I'm not ha

lf as decent a

s you
     
I'd rather be 

tied to someon

e, even if the

y're wrong


[Pre-Chorus]
            
I make excuses

      
, my friends k

now the truth 

is
         
I'm not as alr

            
ight as I clai

m
            
I say that I'm

              
 fine, I tell 

 
them all the t

ime
        
As they watch 

all the life f

ade away


[Chorus]
    
But I'm so sca

red of my guit

ar
          
'Cause it cuts


 right through

 to the heart
          
Yeah, it knows

 me too well s

o I got no exc

[Bridge]
         
I pretend that

              
 it's love
     
I pretend that

[Pre-Chorus]
            
'Cause what if

              
 I never find

The doubt alwa

ugh my mind
            
So we'll stay

Trade somethin

' that's good 

for what's rig
