About the feelings you have when you keep letting down the people around you.
lyrics
Here I sit all alone again shoot myself with a black pen
I ain’t no good if I could you know that I would
Tip the bottle back a few more times but that’s what got me into the pine
It ain’t no good if I could you know that I would
Well I had nowhere to go now and your house had unlocked doors
Thought I had no one to turn to child said what was I waitin’ for
Cause there’s a way to find salvation girl you said look around and tried to make yourself clear
I was down and out and I was on my own but you took me in a broken soul and gave me a home
I let you down again apology with a black pen
I ain’t no good if I could you know that I would
Change the things that I did in the past but you know I can’t look back
It ain’t no good if I could you know that I would
I stuck around for a short time but he got the best of me
Crawled around on the floor for days I said like a ship lost at sea
But there’s a way to get back on the course a summertime breeze no women no wine it is peace
Still I’m down and out and don’t need no home I just wanna go to sleep forever leave me alone
Wake me up roll the stone, Wake me up when I get home
I want to thank you folks for all that you’ve done
I want to thank you Lord but I’m still on the run
I gotta roll on down the road I guess I’ll see you again
But I ain’t got no time don’t got no date I don’t know when, it’s a sin
Here I sit all alone again shoot myself with a black pen
I ain’t no good if I could you know that I would
