lyrics

When your threads come undone
And you live your saddest song
And you’ll never go home
It’s just a bed where you sleep alone

So you’re working all the double shifts you can
just to keep yourself away from nowhere land
and the people there they don’t understand
that you work so long because they’re your friends

it’s your saddest song

and the daylight shows
that there could be somewhere to go
and you’ll search it out
because you yearn for what it’s all about

but it’s not like on that damn TV
where such pretty faces greet you with glee
at the beach house there they don’t have a care
they’re just belly rings and they never sing

about your saddest song
oh it’s the one that you’re running from
just to keep your self numb
to the past which you come from

turn and face the self you’re running from
turn and face the self you’re running from

and money would help but that’s not the thing
it just fills the void while you stroll and sing
and it blinds you from the awful truth
that you never learned how to cut loose

from your saddest song

turn and face the self you’re running from
turn and face the self you’re running from
