it's the principle of the thing
feelings get hurt thought's seem to scatter
it's the bitterness that heartache brings
when the world grows cold
nothing else seems to matter
it's a long, hard road ahead
and the further you go
the less you seem to know
-------------------------------------------
i remember what my mama said
a vague recollection
in the frozen food section
a behemoth of a big box store
you can buy your tires
and tofu in one stop
and i wonder why , what for
the world seems to be spinning out of control
--------------------------------------------- why did you leave me in this place
where I don't speak the language
can't order a sandwich
nowhere to hide my face
the mirrors are all two way
not sure what to say
and i feel like going home but that's 2 years, 3000 miles, and a suitcase away
-----------------------------------------
loitering in a parking lot
security guard
gonna lay it down hard
some battles need to be fought
but if i only had a dime
for every single time
that i came up on the losing end
than i wouldn't be sitting here right now
