Lyrics
Perfect, easy, so good to me So why's there a pit in my gut in the shape of you? Distract myself, say it's somethin' else Maybe I'm just overwhelmed, maybe I'm confused Barely sleep when you sleep next to me But I keep thinkin' I'll find a cure I say that I'm fine, I tell you all the time I've never felt so happy and sure But I'm so scared of my guitar 'Cause it cuts right through to the heart Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you I'm so scared of my guitar If I play it, then I'll think too hard Once you let the thought in, then it's already done So I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love If I was brave and noble like you I'd have the nerve to just stop stringin' you along But I'm not half as decent as you I'd rather be tied to someone, even if they're wrong I make excuses, my friends know the truth is I'm not as alright as I claim I say that I'm fine, I tell them all the time As they watch all the light fade away Yeah, I'm so scared of my guitar 'Cause it cuts right through to the heart Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you I'm so scared of my guitar If I play it, then I'll think too hard Once you let the thought in, then it's already done So I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love I pretend that it's love I pretend that it's love I pretend that it's love, love 'Cause what if I never find anything better? The doubt always creeps through my mind So we'll stay together 'cause how could I ever Trade somethin' that's good for what's right? Oh, I'm so scared of my guitar It cuts right through to my heart It knows me too well, I got no excuse I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you I'm so scared of my guitar When I play it is when I think too hard I let the thought in, it's already done But I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend it's enough
