(Verse)
This thing trips on the shortest of lips
And when the winter wind is blowing cold
I got a big old heart, with malicious remarks
Just might hit me like a lightning bolt

(Chorus)
They say I was shaking from the day that I started to walk
I carry such a heavy load
Ya know you do a lotta damage when ya talk that talk
Cuz don't ya know I'm a shy boy?

(Verse 2)
I'm headin' to the wall at the top of the step
Feelin' like a smokin' gun
Talkin' to the voices that don't talk back
It's you and me that I'm runnin' from

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
A lil baby cries out when he meets the world
A new day feels the settin' sun
Talkin' to strangers, always scare me to death
And now here I am talkin' to one

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Can you truly take this fear away?
I keep it under lock and key
What if I make a mistake, I might not know what to say
Why do you put this burden on me?

(Chorus)
