Well I can tell a-fairly well that you can see me clearly
So don’t pretend I’m someone else when everyone can hear me
Singin’ homemade music on the street corner each day
Wondering out loud why you don’t reply
Whenever I call your name
[v2]
I’ll waste no time a-clarifying how close I was to winning
Until the day I’as led astray by alcohol and women
Well actually no that’s not true allow me to explain
I smoked them freaky cigarettes repeatedly
And ran right down the drain
[Br]
A lone songwriter in a one-man band
You have my word that’s not what I’d planned
I tried the handle but the door was jammed
At least I realize I’m a grain of sand
[v3]
Well I may be slow but I still know that you don’t love me dearly
So don’t pretend I’m still your friend whenever you get near me
I’ve not forgotten how you was I doubt that you have changed
I’m all for second chances but your attitude is too deeply ingrained
