|
Last night it came upon me |
|
Got the blues upon sunrise |
|
As I reached to touch your shoulder, |
|
I was struck by the surprise |
|
You packed up your belongings |
|
Stole away into the night |
|
Nary a sign is left of you here |
|
Guess I'll lay back down and cry |
|
*chorus* |
|
Why do they always leave me? |
|
Happens just about every time |
|
And I can feel you haunting |
|
through the back pitch of my mind |
|
There's never been any reason |
|
Never been no way to explain |
|
Seems that luck is out of season.... |
|
unless it's bad, then down it rains |
|
Growing colder by the minute |
|
Getting hardened by the day |
|
I'm a lonely, loathsome creature |
|
But I don't want to be that way |
|
*chorus* |
|
A bitter wind chills me to the bone |
|
The bottle is dry and I feel so alone |
|
This house is so empty now that you're gone |
|
And I face the fact that I've done you wrong, yeah |
|
Now I'm sure that you had to leave me, |
|
To save yourself and your sanity |
|
You'll find another, and I pray he's good to you |
|
Better than I could ever be |
|
Hope you find just what you need, as I lay right here and bleed |
|
Together we will never be! |
|
Through my soul a stormy rain, wrapped up in my old friend pain, forever! |
|
It's my destiny |
|
Sometimes I think I know the way |
|
but find myself in a strange land |
|
where I don't know my name |
|
Left to the dogs, hung out to dry |
|
Wish I could lay right down and die |
|
I'm tryin', but life's not done with me! |
|
Bye bye, bye bye baby! |
