Tongue Tied

[Verse 1]
What am I supposed to do?
Face a world where I can't have you?
Guess I'll stumble down the avenue
Lit up like the 4th of July
It gets harder every time I go away
I can never find a single word to say
Talk is cheap, and man, I'm gonna pay
For the rest of my life

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been just a little tongue-tied
I got years to deal with all this pain
Pain, it'll kill me in time
And time just goes treatin' me the same

[Chorus]
I'm old enough to cry (Cry)
But not grown enough to say goodbye
Been just a little tonguе-tied
Just a little tongue-tiеd

[Verse 2]
Every promise that was flesh and bone
All the words that were set in stone
Ain't strong enough to keep a home
From the weight of all of these tears
That rain down here in this empty room
My poor heart is black and blue
I'm standing straight, but it takes 90 proof
From the weight of all of these years

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been just a little tongue-tied
I got years to deal with all this pain
Pain, it'll kill me in time
And time just goes treatin' me the same

[Chorus]
I'm old enough to cry (Cry)
But not grown enough to say goodbye
Been just a little tongue-tied

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been just a little tongue-tied
I got years to deal with all this pain
Pain, it'll kill me in time
And time just goes treatin' me the same
I've been just a little tongue-tied
I got years to deal with all this pain
Pain, it'll kill me in time
And time just goes treatin' me the same

[Chorus]
I'm old enough to cry (Cry)
But not grown enough to say goodbye
Been just a little tongue-tied
Just a little tongue-tied
