I'm not careful enough

I keep tearing through love

Like a tetherball swinging 'til it's all tangled up

Whipping through the air 'til I'm stuck

I go through life like an eight ball

'Til the powder stains the table

And I can read the price tag, but keep scraping off the label

Telling myself that I'm stable

Laugh it off

Say I'm fine

'Cause it's harder to get better than to lie, lie, lie

Drinking mexican Coke

Sittin' on the sidewalk to smoke

Cane sugar steadies me and tells me a joke

Is life everything that you hoped?

Laugh it off

Say I'm fine

'Cause it's harder to get better than to lie, lie, lie

'Cause it's harder to get better than to lie, lie, lie

'Cause it's harder to get better

It's just easier to lie

Lie, lie, lie

Lie

Sitting in your car

Curled up like a roach in the dark

Telling you the truth as the curtain slowly parts

Asking for another start

Asking for another start
