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
