My Life Is Like Swimming Across the Atlantic and I'm Drowning

Why must you be so kind, dear? It brings me pain When I can't help but fall in love And you can only feign You tell me to strum differently My songs sound the same Well, it never was about the music As much as the message So I tried to be like Sam I tried but I'm different Like maybe I should walk to the underworld And die an early death I wish that I could treat you The way you deserve But experience has taught me darling You'll leave me on the curb With a large pile of clothes To carry as I roam Searching for a place to rest And needing you, being all alone I tried to be like Sam I tried but I'm different Like maybe I should walk straight to the underworld And die an early death Longing for your smile I'll stand by and wait for awhile Awhile, more like eternity 'Cause you don't even know What you mean to me
