Select language to translate this lyric
This thing trips on the shortest of lips
and when the winter wind is blowing cold
I got a big old heart
one malicious remark just might hit me like a lightning bolt
they said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk
I carry such a heavy load
You know, you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk
'cause don't you know I'm a shy boy
I'm headed to the wall at the top of the steps
feeling like a smoking gun
talking to the voices that don't talk back
it's you and me that I'm running from
they said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk
I carry such a heavy load
You do a lot of damage when you talk that talk
'cause don't you know I'm a shy boy
a little baby cries out when he meets the world
the new day fears a setting sun
talking to strangers always scared me to death
and now here I am talking to one
they said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk
I carry such a heavy load
You know, you do a lot of damage when you talk that
talk 'cause don't you know I'm a shy boy
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?
Tthey said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk
I carry such a heavy load
You know, you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk
'cause don't you know I'm a shy boy
