Lyrics

I'm writin' a song
But these words don't belong
Where I've placed them
I'm sick and I'm tired
I feel so uninspired
But I'll face this
Changes will come
When I'm dead and I'm done
Or I'm wasted
I'm rusted and weathered
I'm high as a feather again

And I'm breaking
Down when you're not around
Can't you see I'm breaking
Down when you're not around

I'm tryin' to cope
But these dreams won't let go
Seems I'm trapped in
I'm stuck in this prison
I can't call this livin'
But dyin'
Yet I gave up on whiskey
With hopes that you'd see
I'm tryin'
But you turned and you ran
Just like dust in the wind
I'm left cryin

And I'm breaking
Down when you're not around
Can't you see I'm breaking
Down when you're not around
Do you care I'm breaking
Down when you're not around
Could you help me?
Help me help myself

When you're not around
