Well I'm battered down and burnt out,
like a half a cigarette.
And i'm passed out on the floor and thinking:
Am i happy yet?
And my films in black and white,
but you'll remember me in colors.
Singing songs about my heartache and my jealousy of others.
And it's hard to explain it,
And it's hard to contain it,
It's hard to explain how it feels.

Till there's someone to cry about,
Somone to fight it out,
Someone to say you're the reason they breathe.
Till theres someone your crazy about,
The one you can't live without,
Someone to say you're the reason they breathe.

And I'm feeling kind of lonely cause I lost my train of thought.
Trapped around a way of thinking,
But it only got me caught.
And I'm as open as a rose when Summer's air,
Could spare no rain.
In this drought I'm almost dead and
In the sun I'm rather plain.

Does it help you to claim to the shell you've turned into?
I wish you the best and the worst.

Till there's someone to cry about,
Somone to fight it out,
Someone to say you're the reason they breathe.
Till theres someone your crazy about,
The one you can't live without,
Someone to say you're the reason they breathe.

Nooo!

Oh, well I fumble back and fall
Then try to find my words
But there's a couple or a couplet that you haven't heard
Guess I'll try a little harder, try some workin' it out
I think I'd fall on my face on my way out
Tried to kiss you baby, tell you everything on my mind
Tried to spit out my heart, when I go lookin' behind
If there's something more to say
Then go and say it now

Im getting out of this with a witness
