[Verse 1]

You have a way with words

Your silence is a curse

You always seem to break me down, down, down

My swollen heart you curve

Your comfort makes it worse

I don't want you around, 'round, 'round, 'round

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause how is the man of my dreams

Not a man of his words?

And how is the man for me

Just a man that makes me hurt?

[Chorus]

It's time to take my own

Take my own advice, take my own advice

Need me to take my own

Take my own advice, take my own advice

[Verse 2]

I almost lost my mind, yeah

I left myself behind, yeah

I almost crashed and fell right from the sky

I took a chance on this, yeah

I took too big a risk, yeah

And now I’m left with pain to get me high

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause how is the man of my dreams

Not a man of his words?

And how is the man for me

Just a man that makes me hurt?

[Chorus]

It's time to take my own

Take my own advice, take my own advice

Need me to take my own

Take my own advice, take my own advice

[Bridge]

You had to break me, take me, to make me better

But I had to save me, baby, now or never

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause how is the man of my dreams

Not a man of his words?

And how is the man for me

Just a man that makes me hurt?

[Chorus]

It's time to take my own

Take my own advice, take my own advice

Need me to take my own

Take my own advice, take my own advice

[Outro]

Take, own, ooh, ooh

Take, own, ooh, ooh
