Strong, but slightly decayed
Words are fumblin'
It's been always this way
Sunlight is asking in
Love. A term you use loose
You say you're in love
You just cooked your goose
It's high time you packed it in
it'll come back to you
Risk it or walk away
Center the soft charade
Sing straight from the heart
While you're pullin'
Strings from the start
Words out about the frame
Safe out on your ledge
Where no one hears you
Bets will be hedged
The outcome is still the same
it'll come back to you
Embrace it or walk away
Center the soft charade
Why are you crying, woman?
