Lyrics for The Wire

You know I'm bad at communication, it's the hardest thing for me to do And it's said, it's the most important part that relationships will go through And I'd give it all away just so I could say that I know, I know, I know, I know that you're gonna be ok anyway You know there's no rhyme or reason for the way you turned out to be I didn't go and try to change my mind, not intentionally I know it's hard to hear me say it but I can't bear to stay and I just know, I know, I know, I know that you're gonna be ok anyway Always keep your heart locked tight, don't let your mind retire, oh But I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire It felt right, it felt right, oh But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire It felt right, it felt right, oh But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire, huh Oh will you use imagination try to make it what you want it to be Because I'm sorry I did what I did, but it came naturally And I gave it all away just so I could say that Well I know, I know, I know, I know that you're gonna be ok anyway Well I try to keep myself together, after all the opportunities I try to stay true to you and try to do what you wanted for me And I'd give it all away just to hear you say that Well I know, I know, I know, I know that you're gonna be ok anyway Always keep your heart locked tight, don't let your mind retire, oh But I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire It felt right, it felt right, oh But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire It felt right, it felt right, oh But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire Always keep your heart locked tight, don't let your mind retire Always keep your heart locked tight, don't let your mind retire, oh But I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire But I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire It felt right, it felt right, oh But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire It felt right, it felt right, oh But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire It felt right, it felt right, oh But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire Yeah, yeah, yeah, it felt right, oh But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah No-no-no-no, no, no It felt right (It felt right) It felt right (It felt right) It felt right, no-no-no-no-, no, no But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire Yeah
