1
It's not that I don't love you
2
Or are tired of your ways
3
I want you to know
4
That's I'm always thinking of you
5
You know I'd take you with me
6
Wherever I go
7
But I catch myself in the mirror
8
And I remember I gotta do something about my life
9
For I'm as empty as the clothes that I laid
10
Crumpled where they fell to the floor
11
I'm as empty as the ten green bottles
12
Hanging in my mind from the night before
13
And an ashtray full of moments
14
Spent thinking about the things I
15
Should have done
16
I say goodbye to another old friend
17
Yeah they stayed through thick and thin
18
Through the laughter and the tears
19
Through every state that I've been in
20
And I know they don't wanna hurt me
21
But I can see it in their eyes
22
That they're killing me so gently
23
How can I ever say goodbye
24
For as young me we clattered through these streets
25
And how we hit this town runnin'
26
And we were so sure of being us
27
We flattened everything that stood in our path
28
Now I wake up and I have to find myself
29
Through all the shit that once told me who I was
30
I say goodbye to so many old friends
31
Here I left them to the wind
32
And there ain't much point in chasing
33
The things you can never get back again
34
But there's still some life in this one
35
Give me a match and I'll reminisce
36
Of a time when we were younger
37
And we were stealing our first crack
38
And our thoughts had turned to dying
39
And we were unaware at the time
40
That this ride it could ever fall....
41
Could ever slow down to this time...
42
For I've been drunk and stoned and feeling mellow
43
And that's how I've been getting through
44
Looking at the blurry shapes around me
45
Thinking I knew more than I knew
46
And it's not that i don't love you
47
Or are tired your ways
48
If i could only take you with me
49
If i could only ease this pain
