The Wire by Haim

You know I'm bad at communication
It's the hardest thing for me to do
And it's said, it's the most important part
That relationships will go through
And I'd give it all away
Just so I could say that
I know, I know, I know, I know
That you're gonna be OK anyway
You know there's no rhyme or reason
For the way you turned out to be
I didn't go and try to change my mind
Not intentionally
I know it's hard to hear me say it
But I can't bear to stay and
I just know, I know, I know, I know
That you're gonna be OK anyway
Always keep your heart locked tight
Don't let your mind retire (oh)
But I just couldn't take it
I tried hard not to fake it
But I fumbled and when I came down to the wire
It felt great
It felt right (oh)
But I fumbled him when I (1)________ down to the wire
It felt great
It felt right (oh)
But I fumbled him when I came down to the wire
(Does) your imagination
Try to make you what you wanted to be
Because I'm sorry I do what I did
But it came naturally
And I gave it all away
Just so I (2)__________ say that
Well I know, I know, I know, I know
That you're gonna be OK anyway
Well I try to keep myself together
After all the opportunities
I try to stay true to you and try to
Do what you wanted for me
And I'd give it all away
Just to hear you say that
Well I know I know, I know, I know
That you're gonna be OK anyway
Always keep your heart locked tight
Don't let your mind retire (oh)
But I just couldn't take it
I tried hard not to fake it
But I fumbled and when I (3)________ down to the wire
It felt great
It felt right (oh)
But I fumbled and when I came down to the wire
It felt great
It felt right (oh)
But I fumbled and when I came down to the wire
