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 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 lay in your arms and pretend that it´s love

Yeah, I 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 is when I think too hard

I let the thought in, it´s already done
But I lay in your arms and pretend that it´s love
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend it´s enough
