Baby lay down your defense You've gone and lost all your good sense I'm not here to tear you down I'm here to take you home But if you won't come with me Put away your sympathy And then maybe you can see I can make it on my own

CHORUS ✤ Times are getting harder With this monkey on my shoulder You always take more than you give I'm getting restless 'Cause I feel I'm getting older And it's a hard way A hard way to live

I know you see him in your dreams What's that supposed to mean? I know that love's seen lesser things But I forget them all A spoken word without a thought It's just my foolish pride you bought I try to hide but then I'm caught And I've never felt so small

CHORUS ✤

Just look me in the eye Before you go and before I die Tell me that you mean goodbye And I'll leave you alone You're not the first to take the dive And you won't be the last alive 'Cause baby there's no compromise When all the seeds are sewn

CHORUS ✤
