Ive had a couple of drinks and its getting late Im going home anyway Was there something else you wanted to say? All these people just give me a headache And it dont matter what your friends think You know, theyre all just a trick of your mind And I know its easier to give up And it makes more sense to walk away But I stay long cause I am strong and thats what makes me The man who stayed Holy Mama, where are you now, When Ive been suffering, oh and how? Everything that I had life took away And we hurt each other habitually Aint it a wonder we never see That we only hurt ourselves and well never be free I have been up to the mountain And Im lonelier down here than Ive ever been But I stay long cause I am strong and thats what makes me The burnt man, the burnt man, the burnt man I used to think if I used up my love then itd be gone But it goes on and on and it is strong
