Homeless

When you were alive, I was never alone

Somewhere in the world, there was something called home

And as long as you lived, I would be allright

There were reasons to win, and incentives to fight

Now I'm smoking again. I thought all that was through

And I don't wanna live. But what else can I do

And I feel like I've faked all that I ever did

And I've grown a gray beard, but I cry like a kid

I was seven when I sang you'd rosin the bow

There in Aunt Mary's kitchen and I don't guess I know

That it's why I've done this for all of this time

But now I'm playing and singing, seems a game or a crime

People have called to find out if I'm fine

I assure them I am. But I'm not - it's a lie

They say in the end, your good friends pull you through

But everyone knows, my best friend was you.

Hey, I've gotten some help. I guess I was afraid

You suppose something will happen when someone is paid

But I am getting better once again I'll be strong

After all, listen, I'm singing this song

When you were alive I was never alone

Somewhere in the world there was something called home

Now I feel like I'm homeless but I will be alright

I'll get through the days. I'll face-down the night.
