I drink too much, I smoke too much
I laugh at all my own jokes too much
I'm hard to tell and quick to touch
And easy sayin' goodbye

I broke your heart a thousand times
With wasted nights and ramblin' rhymes
I thought I'd leave you far behind
But time just wouldn't let go

I walked the streets
I kicked the cans
Tore down the walls
With my two hands
And still across my floor you stand
Willing to love again

Out of all the dreams, in this old world
How'd you get so unlucky girl?
To find a shell that had no pearl
And a man who couldn't find home

I feel too much, I protect too much
Most times I probably expect too much
I spend my life on this broken crutch
And you believe I can fly

I walked the streets
I kicked the cans
Tore down the walls
With my two hands
And still across my floor you stand
Willing to love again
