It's Probably My Fault, But I Don't Care

Things You Won't Hear Me Say

I'm glad I'm not homeless, but I hate my house

it's not where I thought I'd be

I'm committed, but I don't have a spouse

seems love feels the same about me

Abandoned, through choice, circumstance and mistakes

I've even been cut off by my family

I smile to appease you, but my whole body aches

Go ahead and pour that dirt over me

Bury me deep in the back of the yard

Let the weeds take their root

Life shouldn't be so damn hard

And to tell you the truth

Had you told me this was coming

I'd have knocked out your tooth

I missed the sign to start running

From right out of the chute

Let me be....PLEASE, Let me go...

Let the vermin take what's left behind

Can't you see, don't it show

It's official, I've done lost my mind
