Lyrics[edit | edit source]
You might think you're nothing
You might think you've got to change
Might believe in something
But it's nothing but pain
You might think I'm bluffing
You might say I've not right to shame
But we share something
And that something is pain
Take it easy baby, you're moving too fast
Though you're telling me it's easy
Hid yourself into the rain
Grab your coattails and hang on
You've got so much to gain
Now you are alone now
Gathering your truth to blame
Worship your only one
With nothing but shame
Take it easy baby, you're moving so fast
You might think you're nothing
You might think you've got to change
Might believe in something
But it's nothing but pain
I can't give an answer
I won't give a course of truth
All I give is poison but it's toxic to youth
Take it easy baby, you're moving too fast
