Burton Cummings - Permissible To Cry lyrics

Runnin' out of steam now, I don't have the energy I once could have bragged of Runnin' out of friendships It seems that the years bring a house so divided Runnin' out of contacts Is this what they mean when they talk about 'lonely'...? Runnin' out of answers I made my own bed but I don't understand it All I know is that things are movin' mighty fast Don't mind the change but I can't go it alone All I wanna know is that some days it's permissible to cry. Wanted to be a tough guy Never talked much 'bout what I was feelin' inside me I never let my guard down Couldn't tell a friend from a casual acquaintance I played them all like chess men The better the game the more moves I was using I talked a lot of nonsense... You get the most noise from the emptiest barrels... All I know is that things are movin' mighty fast Don't mind the change but I can't go it alone All I wanna know is that sometimes it's permissible to cry. Sometimes I'm feelin' like I'm all wrong The simple things are takin' too long Sometimes I'm feelin' like I'm all wrong About to waste another day Sometimes I'm feelin' like I'm all wrong And I been comin' over too strong And the things that I was sayin' Didn't matter anyway.
