THE TROUBLE WITH ME IS YOU

Verse 1
Fully dressed and wrinkled in my arm chair.
I?m drinking whiskey, watching late TV
My head pounds out the rhythm to a sad song.
My heart jumps in with hurting harmony.

Lift
I?m dirty, lazy, burnt out, and half crazy.
I?m not half the man I once knew.
Still I feel a little better knowing
the trouble with me is you.

Chorus
The trouble with me is you.
Sure I know I?m not the man you and I once knew.
But you are the reason why I act the way I do.
I can blame it all on me. But it won?t change the truth.
The trouble with me is you.

Verse 2
Feeling single, drinking double whiskey.
For a little while I don?t hurt inside.
But soon my heart begins to sing that sad song.
I pour another drink, and I don?t have to cry.

Lift
I recall the feelings that I once had.
such joy in everyday I never knew.
But breaking up has broken me in pieces.
The trouble with me is you.

Chorus
The trouble with me is you.
Sure I know I?m not the man you and I once knew.
But you are the reason why I act the way I do.
I can blame it all on me. But it won?t change the truth.
The trouble with me is you.

Bridge
It?s not hard to see my friend, I?m still in love with you.
Breaking up is something that you felt we should do.
And though you say you?re feeling fine, I?m still bleeding blue.
The trouble with me is you.

Bridge
Don?t misunderstand my friend it?s not too hard to see
you?re not doing half as well as when you were with me.
And though you say you?re doing fine, you?re single but not free.
The trouble with you is me.

Tag
The trouble with me is you.
