I'm drowning in the pain Breaking down again Looking for a lifeline I've been looking for a lifeline For what seems like a lifetime Is there anybody out there? Can you pull me from this ocean of despair? When I was a boy I didn't care 'bout a thing

I will never let you down When you say you've had enough And you might just give it up When you feeling low on love I’ll be what you dreaming of 'Cause I’ve been sick and working all week And I’ve been doing just fine You’ve been tired of watching me

The sky is crying, Can you see the tears roll down the street. I my baby early one morning She was walking on down the street I got a real, real fine feeling That my baby she don't love me no more I've been looking for my baby And I've been wondering

Ever since the day we met Your love burn like a cigarette And you are jealous when we're apart Baby, I've been downhearted Baby, I've been downhearted Our love is nothing but the blues Baby, how blue can you get? My love burns like a fire Yes, my love

I can't live it down I've been called a rambler 'Cause I keep my eyes on that horizon line And I've been called a gambler 'Cause I always wanna let my winnings ride I've been broke more times than I can count I've been stuck for days in a lonely town

I've been down so long it look like up to me They look up to me I got fake people showin' fake love to me Straight up to my face, straight up to my face Whole time they wanna take my place Somethin' ain't right when we talkin' That's when they smile in

'Cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated I've been losing my mind I've been abused I've been confused Since my baby left me I've been mistreated I've been struck downhearted, baby You know I have

When will we get The time to be Just friends? Just friends, just friends? Can we be alone? It's never safe for us Not even in the evening 'Cause I've been drinking Not in the morning

You don't know the risk if you ain't carried the weight Some shit I don't remember, it's somethin' I never forget Ain't nobody give me nothin', ain't nobody tell me shit Big ol' drip If you ain't never been down the road that wasn't already paved Still

We're broken people now We're burning out So cold I'm bleeding now now now Gonna let you down Yes I've been through it They know I do it for the people I'm fighting so we be equal For my son and my sequel And anybody who listenin'
