You left my side tonight Without you I'm no one, I'm nothing at all I could not go on And I, I just don't feel right But I, I can't let you out of sight, What if I walked without you What if I ran without you What if I stand without you What if I lived

Sometimes I cry When I can't do nothing else There are days that I can walk around like I'm alright And I pretend to wear a smile on my face And I could keep the pain from comin' out of my eyes But sometimes, sometimes, Everybody keeps tellin' me to move

I have no belief But I believe I'm a walking contradiction And I ain't got no right Do as I say not as I do because The shit's so deep you can't run away I beg to differ on the contrary I agree with every word that you say Talk is cheap and lies are

You should know me better than that I should leave it alone but you're not right I should live in salt for leaving you behind Don't make me read your mind It takes me too much time You're not that much like me We have different enemies Can't you write it

Ooh, ah (Ooh, ah) Fuck a fake smile, smile After laughter comes tears I'm happy for the love and all of the above If I'm being honest, I done been through way too much I can't fake another smile I can't fake like I'm alright And I won't say I'm feeling

Wish I could be the lake that you're swimming in Wish I could be the beach towel that you laid down on Or the sunshine kissing on your skin Or that two-piece that's fitting you so right, it's wrong There ain't nothing that I would rather see Than you

I'm gonna peel you away Now as I begin To wash you off my skin Cause you're not right within I say goodbye When I found out this love's undone I was like a gun Sure as it was over Felt like nothing good could come

Walking around at midnight Looking for my marking stone I was born an honest way One foot go the right way I feel like I'm itching Well I am an old man I've got nothing more to say Take me to higher ground I wondered on back home

Shhh quiet might piss somebody off I've had enough It's time for something real I don't respect the words you're speaking Gone too far Self-righteousness is wearing thin Heart bleeds but not for fellow men Like me motherfucker you've been at it for too

Did I? Did I? Hurt your feelings when I stunted like that Hurt your feelings when I hustled like that Waste my time, tryna keep it all running You can't fake it You can't take it Cause I'm up right now, been up I'll come down when I'm not so high And
