Bleeders

Once upon a time, they called me the bleeder

Swimmin' up this river with sentimental fever

But this ain't my first ride, it ain't my last try

Just got to keep movin' on

If they catch me ever, they'll throw me back forever

I guess I should be ashamed

But I forget to be vain

I did the best I could, I guess

But everything just bleeds

They say you're only sad and lonely

And no one is impressed

I sent it off in a letter, I'll need somethin' better

Than a nail and a hammer to put me back together

But this ain't my first ride, it ain't my last try

Just got to keep moving on

Got to keep this together, maybe next time is never

I guess I should be ashamed

But I forget to be vain

I did the best I could, I guess

But everything just bleeds

They say you're only sad and lonely

And no one is impressed

Sometimes, I must confess

I do feel a little over dressed

Sometimes it's hard to tell the wishing from the well

Where you threw the penny and where it fell

I guess I should be ashamed

But I forget to be vain

I did the best I could, I guess

But everything just bleeds

I guess I should be ashamed

But I forget to be vain

I did the best I could, I guess

But everything just bleeds

They say you're only sad and lonely

And no one is impressed
