Lyrics
She don't like the books I read
The drugs I smoke, the friends I keep
I guess I'm not what she needs..., anymore.
I don't know if I should care
It's just like playing truth or dare
and I'm losing...
you.
I don't want to bring her down
If I could I'd turn it all around
Maybe I should leave this town, this time
Deep inside I know I care
but it's like I'm playing solitaire
and I'm losing...
She don't need a fool like me
All I bring her is misery
Only one place to be this time
Deep inside I hope you care
When you reach for me and I'm not there
'cause I'm leaving.....
