Lyrics to Heavy :
It's bad enough that we had to learn
The hard way about giving it up
Man I thought that you were joking
And I'm broken

You burn for a little while
Pass it on and try something else
Yeah, you know that you're the one
And you turned on me
'Cause that's the way you heard it was supposed to be

Right away you start thinking about
The wrong things and start giving up
Yeah, you know that we're all quitters
Big sinners

So tell me 'cause I don't understand
Just how to be more to the right
You know, you know that means so much

And you turned on me
Yeah, 'cuz I'm so sick and thin
Do you remember where you were when things were heavy
So go

You could sell me about anything
And I would buy because I like your face
Yeah, you know that I'm a sucker
A little fucker

Tell me it's only me
And I'll tell you it's only you
'Cause only you can make me weak

And you turned on me
Yeah, 'cuz I'm so sick and thin
Do you remember where you were when things were heavy
Were when things were heavy
Love got so heavy
Love got so heavy...

Yeah, I'm sick and thin, thin, thin, thin

It's bad enough that we had to learn
The hard way about giving it up
Man I thought that you were joking

Lyrics to How Far We've Come :
I'm waking up at the start of the end of the world,
but its feeling just like every other morning before,
now i wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone,
the cars are moving like a half a mile an hour if that
and I started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye
can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?

chorus:
but i believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well i guess we're gonna find out
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
oh well, i guess, we're gonna pretend,
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come

i think it turned ten o'clock but i don't really know
then i can't remember caring for an hour or so
started crying and i couldn't stop myself
i started running but there's no where to run to
i sat down on the street and took a look at myself
said where you going man you know the world is headed for hell
say your goodbyes if you've got someone you can say goodbye to

i believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well i guess we're gonna find out
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come

Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
oh well, i guess, we're gonna pretend,
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come

its gone gone baby its all gone
there is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
it was cool cool, it was just all cool
now it's over for me and it's over for you
well its gone gone baby its all gone
there is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
well it was cool cool, it was just all cool
now it's over for me and it's over for you

but i believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well i guess we're gonna find out
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
oh well, i guess, we're gonna pretend,
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come

Lyrics to Story Of A Girl :
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

How many days in a year
She woke up with hope but she only found tears?
I can be so insincere
Making the promises never for real
As long as she stands there waiting
Wearing the holes in the souls of her shoes
How many days disappear?
You look in the mirror so how do you choose?

And the clothes that you wear
Look swell the next day
Your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

How many lovers would stay?
Just to put up with this shit day after day
How did we wind up this way?
Watching our mouths for the words that we say
As long as we stand here waiting
Wearing the clothes on the souls of our shoes
How do we get there today?
When we're walking too far for the price of her shoes

And the clothes that you wear
Look swell the next day
Your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

And the clothes that you wear
Look swell the next day
Your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her

This is the story of a girl
Her pretty face she hid from the world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
When she smiles!

Lyrics to Suffer Me :
She wanted something just like the real thing
He needed love and it all worked out somehow
He knows that love is the king of emotion but
He can't touch her cause she's too perfect now

But she wasn't like that then
And he wasn't like that then
They were everything
Everything they need

Suffer me
Call on me and I
I will call on you
Suffer me
Call on me and I
I will call on you

She wasn't thinking about anyone else just then
But she knew someone else would always come to mind
Cause they were strangers living in a feeling
They were scared when they heard they talked about love

But it wasn't like that then
It just wasn't like that then
They took everything
Cause everything was free

Suffer me
Call on me and I
I will call on you
Suffer me
Call on me and I
I will call on you

Oh yes and they were thinning out
At that moment where we're all afraid
Started thinking that pretty soon one of them would leave
But she says suffer me

Suffer me
Call on me and I
I will call on you
Suffer me
Call on me and I
I will call on you

Suffer me
Call on me and I
I will call on you
Suffer me
Call on me and I
I will call on you
Call on you

Lyrics to Tired :
You've been talking for an hour,
and I swear to God that I can't hear a word you say
So would you come to me, come to me
I get caught up and the waves of conversation they wash over me
And they cover me, they cover me

Should I just pack my things and leave
Would I be a bigger man if I built a wall around your heart
and dared you to come in
I could lie to you and say I didn't mean it
But hurts a funny thing and it makes you stronger

[chorus:]
All is nothing in moderation
It's a dirty feeling and it makes you stronger
Well I believe I'm just plain tired

There's a funny way your lip shakes when I know that you've been lying,
and it touches me
It comforts me, it comforts me
I guess I should be satisfied, did you say you love me half the time
Well let's settle there, we can build from there, build from there

Would you be happier if I was only half the man I am
You could shadow me and dare me to come in
I could lie to you and say I didn't mean it
But it really doesn't matter when you stop to think about it

[CHORUS]

The end is coming she don't even feel it
It's a strange sensation, I'm almost happy
Well I believe I'm just plain tired, I'm tired (oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Should I just pack my things and leave
Would I be a bigger man if I built a wall around your heart
and dared you to come in
I can lie to you, say I didn't mean it
But hurts a funny thing, hurts a funny thing

[CHORUS]

The end is coming she don't even feel it
It's a strange sensation, I'm almost happy
Well I believe I'm just plain tired, tired

Well all is nothing in moderation
Dirty feeling, strange sensation
I believe, I believe
Believe I'm tired

When she smiles!

Lyrics to Real World :
I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker
I wonder what it's like to know that I make the rain
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
And you can come see them when I'm...done, when I'm...
Done

I wonder what it's like to be a super hero
I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown
From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow
Sun
Boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they're stunned

Chorus:
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here
If I were someone else would this all fall apart
Strange, where were you when we started this gig
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me

I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said
I'd shout out an order, I think we're out of this man get
me some
Boy don't make me wanna change my...tone, my tone

Chorus

Please don't change, please don't break
The only thing that seems to work at all is you
Please don't change, at all from me
To you, and you to me

Chorus

Lyrics to Long Day :
It's sitting by the overcoat
The second shelf, the note she wrote
That I can't bring myself to throw away
And also
Reach she said for no one else but you
'Cuz you won't turn away
When someone else is gone

I'm sorry 'bout the attitude
I need to give when I'm with you
But no one else would take this shit from me
And I'm so
Terrified of no one else but me
I'm here all the time
I won't go away
It's me, yeah I can't get myself to go away
It's me, and I can't get myself to go away
Oh God I shouldn't feel this way

Chorus:
Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me
It's been a long day, always ain't that right
And no Lord your hand won't stop it
Just keep you trembling
It's been a long day, always ain't that right

Well I'm surprised that you'd believe
In any thing that comes from me
I didn't hear from you or from someone else
And you're so
Set in life man, a pisser they're waiting
Too damn bad you get so far so fast
So what, so long

Chorus

It's me, yeah and I can't get myself to go away
It's me, yeah and I can't get myself to go away
Oh God I shouldn't feel this way

Chorus

Lyrics to Push :
She said "I don't know if I've ever been good enough.
I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in.
And I don't know if I've ever been really loved
by a hand that's touched me, and I feel like something's gonna give.
And I'm a little bit angry."

well, this ain't over.
no not here, not while I still need you around.
you don't owe me, we might change.
yeah we just might feel good

I wanna push you around
well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down
well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted
I wanna take you for granted
yeah, well I will

She said "I don't know why you ever would lie to me,
like I'm a little untrusting when I think that the truth is gonna hurt ya.
And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me,
you couldn't stand to be near me when my face don't seem to want to shine
'cause it's a little bit dirty."

well, don't just stand there
say nice things to me,
'cause I've been cheated, I've been wronged.
and you, you don't know me
I can't change - I won't do anything at all.

I wanna push you around
well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down
well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted
I wanna take you for granted
yeah, well I will

oh, but don't bowl me over
just wait a minute, well I kinda fell apart
things get so crazy, crazy
don't rush this baby
don't rush this baby, baby, baby ...

I wanna push you around
well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down
well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted
I wanna take you for granted
yeah, well I will

I wanna push you around
well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down
well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted
I wanna take you for granted
yeah, well I will

Lyrics to Girl Like That :
You think this life would make me bolder
But I'm running scared is all
I hang on everything about you
You think I'd settle down 'cuz I'm older
But I roll with the changes is all
I'm same old trailer trash in new shoes

She gets sad when there's nothing going on
She says it makes her feel damn worthless

Chorus 1:
Well you got to think with a girl like that
Any love at all, is better than nothing
It's better than nothing

I put my hands around your shoulder
You're saying you're scared is all
I think I know too much about you
You think this life would make me colder
I'd give in to the alcohol
I put my loving arms around you, child

You knew damn well there was nothing going on
Is that what makes you feel damn worthless

Chorus 2:
Well you got to think with a girl like that
Any love is better than nothing
It's better than nothing
You got to think, with a girl like that
Any love at all, is better than nothing
It's better than nothing
Yeah she drags you down and she pulls you up
She pulls you up
Says that she's sorry now but it's not enough
To pull you up
She's sorry

I wake up quick just like I want to
Yeah but I stay out much too late
You think this life can get a bit unkind but she stays
Down till the worth is gone
And pulls you up, she pulls you up
She pulls you up and over, over

Chorus 2

Chorus 1

Lyrics to Back 2 Good :
It's nothing, it's so normal you
Just stand there I could say so much
But I don't go there 'cuz I don't want to
I was thinking if you were lonely
Maybe we could leave here and no one would know
At least not to the point that we would think so

Everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking about
Somebody else
It's best if we all keep it under our heads
I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
But I'm lonely now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good

This don't mean that, you own me
This ain't no good, in fact it's phony as hell
But things worked out just like you wanted too
If you see me out you don't know me
Try to turn your head, try to give me some room
To figure out just what I'm going to do

And everyone here, hates everyone here for doing just like
They do
It's best if we all keep this quiet instead
And I couldn't tell, why everyone here was doing me like
They do
But I'm sorry now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good

Everyone here, is wondering what it's like to be with
Somebody else
Everyone here's to blame, everyone here
Gets caught up in the pleasure of the pain, everyone hides
Shades of shame, but looking inside we're the same, we're
The same
And we're all grown now, but we don't know how
To get it back to good

Everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking 'bout
Somebody else
It's best if we all keep this under our heads
I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
But it's over now, and I don't know how, it's over now
There's no getting back to good

Lyrics to Damn :
This old world well
Don't it make you wanna think damn
This cold girl well
Don't she wanna make you scream, damn

What's the matter girl
Don't you think I'm good enough
This old heart's had a whole lot a breakin' down
She's got all these reasons in her head

Chorus 1:
All that time she knew if I lied
You can bet she will
She's taking her time 'til I thought I would die
And I can't sit still

Things got turned 'round
Don't know where I started from, damn
Can't eat, can't sleep
Could have been a bigger man, damn
What's the matter girl don't you think I'm bright enough
This old man had a hard time getting here
You can leave your number at the door

Chorus 2:
And there's nothing at all
Yeah there's nothing at all
Well there's nothing at all
To make her change her mind

This old house been quiet since
You went away, damn
Mixed up fixed out
Don't forget who got you here, damn

What's the matter world
Don't you see I opened up
This whole part been played by another man
I pulled out the reason card instead

Chorus 1

Chorus 2

Says she can find
The things that make up a life
I bet she will
She stays behind, I could stay here all night
I could stay here until

Until there's nothing at all
Yeah there's nothing at all
Well there's nothing at all
To make her change her mind

Lyrics to Argue :
She don't, but she will
He says anything to keep her by him
She takes, what she gets, and she never did flinch

So over, and over, well anyone
With any mind would think that's all she gets

Chorus:
If you want you can get to know me well
We get along so we shouldn't argue
And I don't know, said I don't know
All these feelings cloud up my reasoning
Cloud up my reasoning

I know, but I still
Believe in ignorance as my best defense
So go on, wreck me
Funny how I carry on, and not be taken over
Will not roll over on anyone,
'Cuz anyone would stand up on my side

Chorus

You know it's funny how sometimes
It don't work out like you want to
No you never get nothing at all
Then she tells you that it's nothing at all
Then she tells you that it's over, boy don't you hate it
When it's over
I guess something just got lost, and it deeply saddens me
So over, and over anyone, who's anyone

Chorus

Lyrics to Kody :
Kody sat down on the avenue
He tapped his feet, to the humming of the highway
He watched the light shine down on the broken glass and thought
I don't got no reasons, yet
There it is and there it was
It was clear to all of us
We kept this hat of broken dreams
And we pulled them out, when we needed them around

Chorus:
So please hand me the bottle, I think I'm lonely now
And please give me direction, I think the hurt set in
And I don't feel nothing

There's a squeak hinge down on the back gate
It lets us know if he comes around
I don't sleep that good anyway
If you've never heard the silence, it's a God awful sound

Chorus

I don't feel nothing, no I don't feel nothing
There's nothing to feel good about here

Don't much get down to the avenue
I could drive, but it takes so much to get there
Don't get off on all the broken glass, the Cadillac scene
Well
I've seen a lot of good things die and I'm
In an over emotional way

Chorus

Lyrics to Busted :
I forget when words were only words
She knows the party makes me nervous
In this stage we can't get hurt
Don't try to understand me

We're too cool to be alone
But, not too crazy to get busted

I found out one life ain't enough
I need another soul to feed on
I'm the flame I can't get burnt
I'm wholly understated

I found silence in this space
An on and off again attraction
I need such amazing grace
Heaven sweep me away

Chorus:
Love don't change, don't come around here
Don't wear my heart on your sleeve
Like a high school letter
Don't strain, 'cuz nothing ever comes from it
And the people we've become, well
They've never been the people who we are

I strap on one horse and prayed for luck
I dug another hole to bleed
I know exactly how this works
I need a new feel dirty

I don't need you crowding up my space
I just want to get inside you
You can't blame the heart you save
Giving something away

Chorus

I dreamed that the world was crumbling down
We sat on my back porch and watched it
I dreamed that the buildings all fell down
We sat on my back porch and watched it
In my head I heard the sound
Like fifteen strangers dancing

But oh how I want you to know me
Oh how I want you to know me
Oh how I wish I was somebody else, baby
Oh how I wish you could own me

Chorus

Lyrics to Shame :
What we learned here is love tastes bitter when it's gone
Past yourself forget the light, things look dirty when it's on
Funny how it comes to pass, that all the good slips away
And there's no one around you can remember being good to
You

Shame, shouldn't try you, couldn't step by you
And open up more
Shame, shame, shame

What we lost here is something better left alone
Second steps have been forgotten, will you tell me how
They go
Set yourself, situate, like a fool try again
There's no one around you can remember being good, for you
So

Shame, shouldn't try you, couldn't step by you
And open up more
Shame, shame, shame
Shame, shouldn't try you, couldn't step by you
And open up more
Shame, shame, shame

We never thought we'd get so troubled
We could never think that much
It should never get this bad

So let the wind blow ya, across a big floor
But there's no one around who can tell us what we're here
For
Funny in a certain light, how we all look the same
And there's no one in life you can remember ever stood
For you, so

Lyrics to Hang :
She grabs her magazines
She packs her things and she goes
She leaves the pictures hanging on the wall, she burns all
Her notes and she knows, she's been here too few years
To feel this old

He smokes his cigarette, he stays outside 'till it's gone
If anybody ever had a heart, he wouldn't be alone
He knows, she's been here too few years, to be gone

And we always say, it would be good to go away, someday
But if there's nothing there to make things change
If it's the same for you I'll just hang

The trouble understand, is she got reasons he don't
Funny how he couldn't see at all, 'til she grabbed up her coat
And she goes, she's been here too few years to take it all in stride
But still it's much too long, to let hurt go (You let her go)
And we always say, it would be good to go away, someday
But if there's nothing there to make things change
If it's the same for you, I'll just hang
The same for you
I'll always hang
Well I always say, it would be good to go away
But if things don't work out like we think
And there's nothing there to ease this ache
But if there's nothing there to make things change
If it's the same for you, I'll just hang

Lyrics to Angry :
So scream you, out from behind the bitter ache
Heavy on the memory, you need most
Still want love, ugly, smooth and delicate
Not without affection, not alone

And instead of wishing that it would get better
Man you're seeing that you just get angrier

And it's good that I'm not angry
I just need to get over
I'm not angry, anymore

Cry when you cry, run when you run
Love when you love
Represent the ashes
That you leave behind

And instead of wishing that the road had shoulder
Man you're seeing that you're sinking over time

And it's good that I'm not angry
I just need to get over
I'm not angry
It's dragging me under
I'm not angry

I'm not angry it's never been enough
It gets inside and it tears you up
I'm not angry but I've never been above it
You see through me don't you

Lyrics to Black & White People :
One more day down
Everybody has those days
Where one soft sweet song's
Just enough to clear my head

Fall on real life
Is anybody left there sane?
If we slide on over and accept fate
Then it's bound to be a powerful thing

If it's just that you're weak
Can we talk about it
It's gettin' so damn creepy
Just nursing this ghost of a chance
The fiction, the romance
And the Technicolor dreams
Of black and white people

One boy head strong
Thinks that living here's just plain
He's pushed down so hard
You can hear him start to sink

And it's one last round of petty conversation
You hold on boy 'cuz
You won't go down like this?
Just roll on over
Lay down till it's more than you can take

So one more day down
And everybody's changin'
One more head down
Just enough to reach my head

Yeah if you're weak
Can we talk about it
It's gettin' so damn creepy
Just nursing this ghost of a chance
The fiction, the romance
And the Technicolor dreams
Of black and white people

We are black and white people

Send "Crutch" Ringtone to your Cell

Lyrics to Crutch :
Chorus:
I don't want to be the crutch
One step away from down
I don't want to be the crutch
One step away from...

Man I feel like hell so come on over
Be a love machine and I could be your friend
Ain't no shame feel strong for one another
Make a real true color come end to end then
God damn...Change of pace
I think there's still a piece of my heart
On your face

It's a shame to let it waste
How does it taste?

Break it down in pieces, make it simple
'Cause you know damn well that I'm a simple man
All these things go changing like the weather
And they stay that way until the weather man says
One down, gone to waste
I think there's still a piece of that smile on your face
And I would like to see it erased
There ain't no two ways about it

Chorus

Bring it on then gone, use a lover
Like a cigarette the way that lovers do
One sweet song that starts a little slow and
Then goes on and on and makes you want to
Move around the room in circles
Everybody wants to be you
Try to find my place up on the map
Of all the men you've been through
Dig a little deeper and you'll realize
All I'm building up you're tearing down

Chorus

Lyrics to Last Beautiful Girl :
This will all fall down like everything else that was
This too shall pass and all of the words we said
We can't take back

Now every fool in town would've left by now
I can't replace all the wasted days
The memory of your face...can't help thinkin'

Maybe if we ever coulda kept it all together
Where would we be
A thousand lost forevers
And the promises you never were giving me
Here's what I'm thinking

Chorus:
It won't be the first...heart that you break
It won't be the last...beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked...won't take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world

Tell me one more time
How you're sorry about the way
This all went down...you needed to find your space
You needed to still be friends
Needed me to
Call you if I ever couldn't keep it all together
you'd comfort me
Tell me but forever
And the promises I never should have believed in
Here's what I'm thinking

Chorus

It's over now...And I've gone without
'Cuz you're everybody else's girl
It seems to me...you'll always be
Everyone else's girl

This will all fall down
Like everything in the world
This too must end
And everything else that was
We can't take back

Lyrics to If You're Gone :
I think I've already lost you
I think you're already gone
I think I'm finally scared now
You think I'm weak...But I think you're wrong
I think you're already leaving
Feels like your hand is on the door
I thought this place was an empire
But now I'm relaxed...I can't be sure

I think you're so mean...I think we should try
I think I could need...this in my life
I think I'm just scared...I think too much
I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone...maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone...baby you need to come home
'Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I bet you're hard to get over
I bet the room just won't shine
I bet my hands I can stay here
I bet you need...more than you mind

I think you're so mean...I think we should try
I think I could need...this in my life
I think I'm just scared...that I know too much
I can't relate and that's a problem
I'm feeling

If you're gone...maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone...baby you need to come home
'Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I think you're so mean...I think we should try
I think I could need...this in my life
I think I'm just scared...do I talk too much
I know it's wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

Lyrics to Mad Season :
I feel stupid...but I know it won't last for long
I've been guessing...I coulda been guessin' wrong
You don't know me now
I kinda thought that you should somehow
Does that whole mad season got ya down

I feel stupid but it's something that comes and goes
I've been changin'...think it's funny how no one knows
We don't talk about...the little things that we do without
When that whole mad season comes around

So why ya gotta stand there
Looking like the answer now
It seems to me...you'd come around
I need you now
Do you think you can cope
You figured me out...I'm lost and I'm hopeless
Bleeding and broken...though I've never spoken
I come undone...in this mad season

I feel stupid...but I think I been catchin' on
I feel ugly...but I know I still turn you on
You seem colder now, torn apart, angry, turned around
Will that whole mad season knock you down

So are you gonna stand there
Are you gonna help me out
You need to be together now...I need you now

Now I'm cryin'...isn't that what you want
I'm tryin' to live my life on my own
But I won't
At times...I do believe I am strong
So someone tell me why, why, why
Do I feel stupid
And I came undone

Lyrics to Rest Stop :
Just three miles from the rest stop
And she slams on the brakes
She said I tried to be but I'm not
And could you please collect your things
I don't wanna be cold
I don't wanna be cruel
But I gotta find more
Than what's happening with you
If you'd...open up the door

She said...while you were sleeping
I was listening to the radio
And wondering what you're dreaming when
It came to mind that I didn't care
So I thought...hell if it's over
I had better end it quick
Or I could lose my nerve
Are you listening...can you hear me
Have you forgotten

Just three miles from the rest stop
And my mouth's too dry to rage
The light was shining from the radio
I could barely see her face
But she knew all the words that I never had said
She knew the crumpled up promise of this
Broken down man...and as I opened up the door

Lyrics to The Burn :
I thought about
Leaving...but I couldn't even get outta bed
Hitchin'...but I couldn't get a ride outta town
Now anyone who really wanted me to be down
Come 'round

Thought about
Singin' but I couldn't remember all of the words
Breakin' but I couldn't get the pieces apart
Laughin' never knowing what the joke was about
Now I'm down
And I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time

Forgot about
Everything and everyone I needed before
Tryin' to get a handle on a reason to shine
Pickin' up the pieces that are falling behind takes time

So I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time and still shine
