give me a break, with this heart ache,
I doubt it will make it through till tomorrow.
It's bogged down with sorrow and guilt
and it's built on these stilts which wobble 5 feet and 3 inches high

you ask me why I'm this way
and all I can say is I've gone through my fair share of shit
and you want all I've got
so we'll give it a shot I just hope you don't regret it

I'm unimpressed, think it's best if we give it a rest
I'm so tired I can't stand for fear I will land on my ass,
let time pass, this can't last, cause I'm just barely getting by

you ask me why I'm this way
and all I can say is I've gone through my fair share of shit
and you want all I've got
so we'll give it a shot I just hope you don't regret it

give me a break, with this heart ache,
I doubt it will make it through till tomorrow.
It's bogged down with sorrow and guilt
and it's built on these stilts which wobble 5 feet and 3 inches high

you ask me why I'm this way
and all I can say is I've got nothing to hide behind
no excuses to confuse this
guess everyone looses but it's better than living a lie

you ask me why I'm this way
and all I can say is I've gone through my fair share of shit
and you want all I've got so we'll give it a shot I just bet you'll regret it.
