[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
