If I could freeze time for a minute
If only just once each day
I’d choose the instant before
You’d reach for the door
I’d study your face
If I could float in and out
The way that you breathe about
I think I would choose to stay
In this misery
All by my damn myself

I lie awake at night
Trying to shake you
From my mind
And I can’t control
These tears of mine
Baby I cry
Yes I cry

Baby stay
Take it easy
Stop
Playing these games
Make it easy
Ooh yea
So if you’re giving up
Let me down, let me down easy
They say the best things in life are free not easy
But honey my loving is real
You’ve got my hands tied tight
Robbin’ me blindly
But you’re never looking for nothing valuable
Always leave me behind with my heart still inside me
So, take it all
Take it all
Won’t you steal my flesh
Steal my soul
Just don’t leave me alone, broken bones, full of holes
To remind me, to remind me

I lie awake at night
Trying to shake you
From my mind
And I can’t control
These tears of mine
Baby I cry
Yes I cry

Baby stay
Take it easy
Stop
Playing these games
Make it easy
Ooh yea
So if you’re giving up
Let me down, let me down easy
They say the best things in life are free not easy
Honey my loving is real
You’ve got my heart in your hands
And you’re letting me fall again
Fall again
You’ve got my heart in your hands
And you’re letting it fall again

I lie awake at night
Trying to shake you
From my mind
And I can’t control
These tears of mine
Baby I cry
Wait

Baby stay
Take it easy
Oooh, stop
Playing these games
Make it easy
Ooh yea
So if you’re giving up
Let me down, let me down easy
They say the best things in life are free not easy
But honey my loving is real
