Pick Me Up (song #89)

Pick Me Up (song #89)

Sometimes I get so down
(I) just need your pride to pick me up
The truth is that I never knew
How much I'd need your love
The ups and downs
The ins and outs
My pain (fear) I can't outrun
Don't shake me loose if I let go
Pick me up - pick me up

Stepping back
I can't believe the things I said
On the attack
You must think I'm out of my head
In the end
I blur the lines until their red
The knife wasn't mine to twist
My grasp can't hold all I'm gonna miss

Sometimes I get so down
(I) just need your pride to pick me up
The truth is that I never knew
How much I'd need your love
The ups and downs
The ins and outs
My pain (fear) I can't outrun
Don't shake me loose if I let go
Pick me up - pick me up

Overkill
I can't (seem) to let anything go
Had your fill
Can't say I blame you for saying no
Until now
I couldn't tell - it didn't show
Hanging on to the past
Should have know it couldn't last

Sometimes I get so down
(I) just need your pride to pick me up
The truth is that I never knew
How much I'd need your love
The ups and downs
The ins and outs
My pain (fear) I can't outrun
Don't shake me loose if I let go
Pick me up - pick me up

I block myself then break your walls all the time
I lose myself then make you go and find
My peace of mind
I've been so blind
Every time

Sometimes I get so down
(I) just need your pride to pick me up
The truth is that I never knew
How much I'd need your love
The ups and downs
The ins and outs
My pain (fear) I can't outrun
Don't shake me loose if I let go
Pick me up - pick me up
