Be real with me, take your time This is just a card that needs dealing with I'm trying to hold it together that’s all And bite my tongue so I don’t talk I had more red flags than a matador I look back now, I see what for I lit myself on fire to keep us warm How long can I blame this little piece of sadness on myself? I wanna build a shack on Reedy Fork Creek where no one will bother me I don’t want you to see me fall apart Like a five dollar watch when I read your caption You’re looking for my big reaction I should just give you a piece of my mind How long can I blame this little piece of sadness on myself? How long can I blame this little piece of sadness on myself? My smile’s like a tent held up with stakes My stomach’s full of hurricanes I still wish that I knew to shut my mouth I knew you before you had a pit to hiss in and now you’re full of it And I'm left to figure it all out How long can I blame this little piece of sadness on myself? How long can I blame this little piece of sadness on myself? I had more red flags than a matador I want to build a shack on Reedy Fork Creek
