oh i dont pretend to know the reason why
the world aint how it used to be.
i just hang on for the ride.

and i know i cant understand the feelings deep inside
the men who think they are free.
i dont want to be the one to point out all their lies.

so how can you sit happy with your lipstick and your friends,
i wont be back to drown away your sorrows.
i wont turn around when you say “let’s make a mends,”

now i dont want to say goodbye – it aint my kinda word,
but when times are rough
its easy to run and you know that i could.

im never around too long i got too much to lose
with friends like these
im surprised i didnt fall apart to begin with.
