The first night I should've left you
Before I shut my eyes
I prayed to God I'd wake up somewhere else
When the morning came to find me
You were sleeping there beside me
I wondered if this nightmare ever ends

The door was left wide open
And the neighbours, they were smoking 
In the afternoon to pass away the time
You looked at me so cold and said
"This house is not my home"
I wish you knew how true that felt most nights

Is it bitterness or sympathy
That keeps you standing here with me?
I'm not sure how much more I can take
'Cause I have sacrificed my peace of mind
To sit here with you wasting time
And now I think I'd like to walk away

I was standing in Ohio
On the 28th of March
With a guitar and a suitcase in my hands
When the wind, it stole my cap
Lord, all I could do was laugh
And thank the stars I'm still a drinking man

Is it bitterness or sympathy
That keeps you standing here with me?
I'm not sure how much more I can take
'Cause I have sacrificed my peace of mind
To sit here with you wasting time
And now I think I'd like to walk away

I was walking in a graveyard
Where no one that I know rests
Thinking maybe I could clear my head
And on the cemetery breeze
I heard a song about belief
It's a sung with a thunder I can't understand

Is it bitterness or sympathy
That keeps you standing here with me?
I'm not sure how much more I can take
'Cause I have sacrificed my peace of mind
To sit here with you wasting time
And now I think I'd like to walk away
