Down on my luck/ not a dollar to my name/ this town sucks/ every days the same/ you sat me down and said you look like hell today
I admit I was wrong/ I brought it on myself/ and now I've had enough
If this is how it is/ some things aren't worth fighting for/ its no way to live/ afraid of what you're worth/ if there's something left to give/ this isn't just how it is
If the grass aint greener/ why don't you leave here? Well I'm broke and sleepless/ its not that easy/ you sat me down and said life's too short to be sad all the time/ If you really mean it, you'd better think of something quick/ if you really mean it, you'd better make a run for it
If this is how it is/ some things aren't worth fighting for, anymore/ Its no way to live/ afraid of what you're worth/ so don't be sad all the time/ you can't be sad all the time/ yeah, don't be sad all the time
