If you could pull yourself away from that mess
 Surely if you could pack a punch then you can pack a dress
 'Cause hot on the trail of self pity is wilderness
 Like hot on the heels of heartbreak is happiness

 It's an upward struggle just to be yourself (To be yourself)
 And if I climb too far I'll end up on the shelf
 When sorry's have been said and tears, tears have dried
 I'm still the easy route to easy ride

 If you could just have a good word with yourself
 Convince yourself you're you and no-one else
 Restore your confidence and your pride
 A soldier don't need no-one by their side

 It seems as though there's only me to blame (Me To Blame)
 Pushover, must be my middle name
 Just because he flushed love down the drain
 Doesn't mean your little heart can't be reclaimed

 If you could just have a good word with yourself
 Convince yourself you're you and no-one else
 Restore your confidence and your pride
 A soldier don't need no-one by their side

 And I know that what I've chosen's second best
 And if the passport was there then I'd say yes
 But departure leaves a fully feathered nest
 This easy bird is easily impressed
 This easy bird is easily impressed

 Your little wings broken, nest destroyed
 The love that he talked of, null and void
 If you knew you were a plaything with which they toyed
 Your little heart would now be the employed

 Next time I choose to love I'll take good aim
 Miss out on his sweet talk and his blame
 Then when I miss the target you can't complain
 It's only the sure-shot actually feels the pain
 It's only the sure-shot actually feels the pain
 It's only the sure-shot actually feels the pain
