The first night I should've left you before I shut my eyes
I prayed to God I'd wake up somewhere else
And 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 neighbors, they were smoking
In the afternoon to pa** away the time
And you looked at me so cold
And said 'this house is not my home'
I wish you'd 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
Now I think I'd like to walk away
I was standing in Ohio on the 28th of March
With the guitar in a suitcase in my hands
And when the wind had stole my cap
Lord, all I could do is laugh
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
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
Some 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
Now I think I'd like to walk away
