Once upon a time they called me a bleeder

Well swimmin' up this river of sentimental fever

But this ain't my first ride

It ain't my last ride

Just got to keep movin' on

If they catch me ever they'll throw me back forever

I guess I should be ashamed

But I forget to be vain

Well I did the best I could I guess

But everything just bleeds

They say you're only sad and lonely and no one is impressed

I sent it off in a letter, I'll need something better

Than a nail and a hammer to be put me back together

But this ain't my first ride, it ain't my last try

Just got to keep a-movin' on

Got to keep this together

Maybe next time is never

I guess I should be ashamed, but I forget to be vain

I did the best I could I guess, but everything just bleeds

They say you're only sad and lonely and no one is impressed

Sometimes I must confess, I do feel a little overdressed

Sometimes it's hard to tell the wishing from the well

Where you threw the penny and where it fell

I guess I should be ashamed, but I forget to be vain

I did the best I could I guess, but everything just bleeds

They say you're only sad and lonely and no one is impressed
