Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't want to talk about it to you
I'm not an open book that you can rifle through
The cold, hard truth that you'll see right to
I'm just a basket case without you
[Verse 2]
He's not a magic man or a perfect fit
But had a steady hand and I got used to it
Had a glass cage heart and invited me in
And now I'm just a basket case without him
[Verse 3]
You're beggin' for the truth so I'm sayin' it to you
I've been savin' your place and what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case
[Verse 4]
I don't say much and it'll stay that way
You got a steel train touch and I'm just a track you lay
So I'll stay right here underneath you
I'm just a basket case and that's what we do
[Verse 5]
You're beggin' for the truth so I'm sayin' it to you
I've been savin' your place and what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case
[Verse 6]
Won't somebody come on in and tug at my seams?
Oh, send your armies in of robbers and thieves
To steal the state I'm in, I don't want it anymore
[Verse 7]
You're beggin' for the truth so I'm sayin' it to you
I've been savin' your place and what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case
