I thought about
Leaving but I couldn´t even get outta bed
I´m hangin´ cause I couldn´t get a ride outta town
Now anyone who really wanted me to be down
Come ´round

Thought about
Singin´ but I couldn´t remember all of the words
Breakin´ but I couldn´t get the pieces apart
Laughin´ never knowing what the joke was about

Now I´m down
And I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I´m ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time

Forgot about
Everything and everyone I needed before
Tryin´ to get a handle on a reason to shine
Pickin´ up the pieces that are falling behind takes time

So I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I´m ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
all this time I wonder

And I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I´m ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time

And I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I´m ever gonna learn
How lonely people make their life
One strain at a time and still shine
