Verse 1: You have a way with words Your silence is a curse You always seem to break me down, down, down My swollen heart you curve Your comfort makes it worse I don't want you around, 'round, 'round, 'round Chorus: 'Cause how is the man of my dreams Not a man of his words? And how is the man for me Just a man that makes me hurt? It's time to take my own Take my own advice Take my own advice Need me to take my own Take my own advice Take my own advice Verse 2: I almost lost my mind I left myself behind I almost crashed and fell right from the sky I took a chance on this I took too big a risk And now I'm left with pain to get me high Chorus Bridge: You had to break me, take me To make me better But I had to save me, baby Now or never Chorus Outro: Take, own, ooh, ooh Take, own, ooh, ooh
