I've got a way with words and it's the cause of all my problems
I've got my mind set
And that's the way it is
I never thought it could get this bad
When I had you in my pocket everything was just fine and

[Verse]
You got a big mouth and the streets are talking
About the way you walk around like you own the place
You've got a big mouth and you should’ve shut it
Yeah, you should have shut it in the first place

Just take another look at the risks we took
And all the things I said, what were they really worth
You're all talk, you can't act like you're calling shots
‘Cause I'm the only thing left you've got

[Chorus]
We don't have anywhere to go but up
Don’t sit back and watch us fall
Take it back, don't react
Don't ever forget we'll make it by

And I can't take another second of this goddamn town
It's getting harder to sing
Do do do do do do do do
These melodies of settling, they’re starting to sting
And everybody's talking like they know it all
Conducting social symphonies
You're all talk, you can't act like you're calling shots
‘Cause I'm the only thing left you’ve got

[Chorus] x2

[Verse]

Everybody's got me looking in the wrong direction
(All eyes on you, they're looking out for me)

[Chorus] x2

‘Cause I can't take another second of this goddamn town
It's getting harder to sing
