Only Worse

I just dropped in, 'cause I could use a friend

And a little bit of consolation

I'm hangin' by a thread from the southern end of my rope

If you really wanna know

I'll do my best to explain my situation

Maybe I can find the words

If the tears don't get me first.

It's kinda like fallin' from the sky

When you're up a mile high

And your parachute won't open

Kinda like clingin' to the bottom of the bottom

When the bottom drops out

The only way I know to say how bad her leavin' hurts

It's kinda like a heartache, only worse

Only worse.

It wasn't my first brush with love

But this one was the deepest

Yeah, I've been blue, but this time it's closer to black

Swore, I'd never get hurt again

But here I am in pieces

When this one broke my heart that was just the start.

It's kinda like fallin' from the sky

When you're up a mile high

And your parachute won't open

Kinda like clingin' to the bottom of the bottom

When the bottom drops out

The only way I know to say how bad her leavin' hurts

It's kinda like a heartache, only worse

Only worse.

It's kinda like being cut open

Kinda like being burned at the stake

Kinda like drownin' in the ocean

Knowin' there's no help on the way.

It's kinda like fallin' from the sky

When you're up a mile high

And your parachute won't open

Kinda like clingin' to the bottom of the bottom

When the bottom drops out

The only way I know to say how bad her leavin' hurts

It's kinda like a heartache, only worse

Only worse...
