Verse One

When the town fool is a liar 

and he's preaching to the choir 

You've got a lot of explaining that you do 

You see, no one likes a quitter it makes us oh, so bitter 

So drop your hat and sit for awhile



Bridge

Ya see, every now and again we struggle with our past 

We try to stare it in the eye and pray that 

it won't last Most questions that get answered, 

they never make much sense 

But I decided that I care, 

and I'll get right down to it And I said



Chorus

I've stopped sleepin', 

I told myself I'd never close my eyes again 

I'm not sleepin', 

I'm doin' now the best that I can



Verse Two

Well, I like it when you sit, 

and get straight down to it 

It suits you more than anyone will admit éš'ause 

there's something in the air and no one seems to care 

Nobody will stand up, not even on a dare.



Bridge

It's funny how we fool them with tears behind our smile 

So tried and true, we plow right through and hope it's worth the while 

Most questions that get answered, 

they never make much sense 

But I decided that I care, 

and I'll get right down to it!
