scared of my guitar

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'll 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'll lay in your arms and pretend that it's love

Yeah, I'll 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, that's when I think too hard

I let the thought in, it's already done

But I'll lay in your arms and pretend that it's love

Yeah, I'll lay in your arms and pretend it's enough
