lyrics
I’m up late tonight cause I’m feelin’ so bad
I Try to write it all down I realize all I have
Is time… to slowly get better
I’m tryin’ so hard to pull myself together
I haven’t felt myself in two or so years
Every now and again I just can’t stop my tears
They burn… burn when the fall
I’m tryin so hard cause lately I’ve won at nothin’ at all
I’m not who I use to be
In the mirror I don’t recognize what I see
Please Lord hear me in my desperate plea… and
Help me find my way far from Kansas City misery
I guess it’s live or die, fight or fall
Stay in bed or answer the piercing call
It’s time… to slowly get better
I’m tryin’ so hard to pull my torn self together
I’ll have to cross the great Mississippi
To escape this loathsome state
I’ve always feared the water
But this is one swim I must make
Help me find my way far from Kansas City misery
Help me find my way far from this Kansas City misery
