(Gary Burr, Jack Blades) Here I am hearin' the same old good advice Surrounded by fools who could swear each heart loves twice I can't pretend everything's good Believe me I wish that I could I can't fake a smile through the evenin' I'll probably crack if the pain's too strong Play a song for me But it has to be In the tradition of love gone wrong I've noticed today I have one less friend to call And no one to tell me it's all right as my world starts to fall I'm doing the best that I can And I've had all the help I can stand I'm ready to crash, yes I am But I'll hide it the best that I can
