Lyrics

VERSE 1
Clock on the wall says quarter past three,
been working double shifts so she can live easy.
My hands are cracked and bleeding, my back's about to break,
Oh, everything I'm doing, I'm doing for her sake.

Come home too tired to talk, too worn to even eat,
Find her sitting by the window staring down the street.
I give her all I got, but baby that's not enough,
When a good man's love starts feeling it just ain't love.

CHORUS
I'm losing more than my mind
losing the best, baby, that's plain to see,
Losing sleep, losing time,
losing everything that used to be me.
The harder I work, the further she drifts away,
I'm losing more than my mind,
I'm losing my hope today.

VERSE 2
Smell her perfume lingering, she left at noon
Don't know where she's going, don't wanna hear the truth.
Her laughter no more when I walk through that door,
the light behind her eyes don't shine for me no more.

I lay beside her at night but she's was million miles away,
I hope come morning something's gonna change some way.
But the sun comes up cold and I head back to the grind,
Trying to hold onto something that's already left my mind.

CHORUS
I'm losing more than my mind
losing the best, baby, that's plain to see,
Losing sleep, losing time,
losing everything that used to be me.
The harder I work,
the further she drifts away,
I'm losing more than my mind,
I'm losing my hope today.

BRIDGE
I could beg, I could plead, get down on both knees,
But a man can't make a woman stay who's already half gone and free.
So I just keep on working, swallowing my pride,
Watching love die slow while I bleed deep down inside.

CHORUS
I'm losing more than my mind
losing the best, baby, that's plain to see,
Losing sleep, losing time,
losing everything that used to be me.
The harder I work,
the further you drift away,
I'm losing more than my mind,
I'm losing my hope today.
