I thought about leaving- but I couldn't even get out of bed I'm hanging 'cause I couldn't get a ride out of 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 so I wonder how I never got the burn and if I'm ever gonna learn how lonely people make 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
