I want you to know I needed time to rest.

And, I must confess to you.

I am hardest on myself.

All I ever wanted was to try to do my best.

And I want tell the truth now.

I am unwell.



After awhile, I just lay down.

After awhile, my chin ain't up.

Bare-knuckle fighter in the third round.

After awhile, it's all bad luck.





Save me. Save me from myself.

Drowning in the wishing well.

I will try to rise above.

I am never good enough.



I want you to know that I needed time alone.

Don't you try to tell me that you really didn't know.

All I ever wanted was to never leave this bed.

And I want to tell the truth - my smile is just pretend.



After awhile, I got sleepy.

After awhile, safety lasted.

After awhile, disenchanted.

After awhile, I just fasted.







After awhile, I just lay down.

After awhile, my chin ain't up.

Bare-knuckle fighter in the third round.

After awhile, it's all bad luck.







I'm no good for you.
