to be the one to swallow my pride i'll try but
make no promises and before i go off to collect
myself please don't give up while there's time

to be the one to swallow my pride i'll try and
make no promises i'll wash myself of that feeling
while i'm still wet and before i go off to collect
myself please don't give up

while there's time my goal is to gain the courage
and smile for a while

if i'm the first to open my arms and try well
i've done mine i have no regrets i wasn't forced
into this so it's all right

to be the one to laugh at my pride i'll try and
make no promises i'll wash myself of that feeling
while i'm still wet i'm trying to make the best of
my nonsensse before i go of to collect myself
please don't give up
