You know we used to sit and talk all night

You didn't know me very well

But that's how I liked it, with no light

You under your pretty spell

And you told me that you'd never leave again

But I felt myself slippin' and so you went and left

It doesn't matter anyway

I was doomed to be this way

I pray all night

Asking Jesus Christ to save my faith

But I'm stuck in the ground spittin' rocks out

And you're up in the clouds where the birds sing loud

To you, and I'm sorry that I ended up this way

We tried to change but I guess we'll never see that day

Bein' young isn't fun when you're dumb and you can't catch a break

Bein' wild isn't kind or pretty and, anyway

We jump out of windows and we drank 'til it's black

And we'd fight and sit alone and wonder why we wouldn't look back

It doesn't matter anyway

I was doomed to be this way

I'll pray all night

Asking Jesus Christ to save my faith

But I'm stuck in the ground spittin' rocks out

When you're up in the clouds where the birds sing aloud

To you, and I'm sorry that I ended up this way

I tried to change but I guess I'll never see that day

It isn't fun, isn't fun, isn't fun no more

I didn't mean to hit him, he hyped me up against that wall

I'm stuck in the ground spittin' rocks out

And you're up in the clouds where the birds sing aloud

To you, and I'm sorry that I ended up this way

I tried to change but I guess I'll never see that day

We tried to change but I guess it'll always be this way
