Allen Tate - Give Yourself Some Time

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Well, I hate these parties
Of lovers and freaks
Gentlemen gypsies
From deep in the weeds
Well, who's got my back now?
It's a room full of teeth
Nobody judge me
I don't know when to leave

{Chorus}
Deep in the dark of night
You're so quick to be sick of yourself
You just need a rest to make it right
Oh, I know you're trying so hard
You can't see you're doing so well?
You just need to give yourself some time
And it'll be alright

{Bridge}
Well, I play the parts right
But I'm speaking it slow
Gone out of my mind
Like the kids in the know

{Verse 2}
I missed the arrivals
I'm ready to go
It's drawing me back
Then I'm loosed from the bow

{Chorus}
Deep in the dark of night
You're so quick to be sick of yourself
You just need a rest to make it right
Oh, I know you're trying so hard
You can't see you're doing so well?
You just need to give yourself some time
And it'll be alright

{Guitar Interlude}

{Chorus}
Deep in the dark of night
You're so quick to be sick of yourself
You just need a rest to make it right
Oh, I know you're trying so hard
You can't see you're doing so well?
You just need to give yourself some time
And it'll be alright
