The first night I should’ve left you before I shut my eyesI prayed to God I’d wake up somewhere elseAnd when the morning came to find meYou were sleeping there beside meI wondered if this nightmare ever endsThe door was left wide openAnd the neighbors, they were smokingIn the afternoon to pass away the timeAnd you looked at me so coldAnd said ‘this house is not my home’I wish you’d knew how true that felt most nightsIs it bitterness or sympathy?That keeps you standing here with meI’m not sure how much more I can take‘Cause I have sacrificed my peace of mindTo sit here with you wasting timeNow I think I’d like to walk awayI was standing in Ohio on the 28th of MarchWith the guitar in a suitcase in my handsAnd when the wind had stole my capLord, all I could do is laughThank the stars I’m still a drinking manIs it bitterness or sympathy?That keeps you standing here with meI’m not sure how much more I can take‘Cause I have sacrificed my peace of mindTo sit here with you wasting timeNow I think I’d like to walk awayI was walking in a graveyard where no one that I know restsThinking maybe I could clear my headAnd on the cemetery breeze I heard a song about beliefSome with a thunder I can’t understandIs it bitterness or sympathy?That keeps you standing here with meI’m not sure how much more I can take‘Cause I have sacrificed my peace of mindTo sit here with you wasting timeNow I think I’d like to walk away
