I want you to know I needed time to rest

And, I must confess to you

I am hardest on myself

All I ever wanted was to try to do my best

And I want tell the truth now

I am unwell

After awhile, I just lay down

After awhile, my chin ain't up

Bare-knuckle fighter in the third round

After awhile, it's all bad luck

Save me. Save me from myself

Drowning in the wishing well

I will try to rise above

I am never good enough

I want you to know that I needed time alone

Don't you try to tell me that you really didn't know

All I ever wanted was to never leave this bed

And I want to tell the truth - my smile is just pretend

After awhile, I got sleepy

After awhile, safety lasted

After awhile, disenchanted

After awhile, I just fasted

After awhile, I just lay down

After awhile, my chin ain't up

Bare-knuckle fighter in the third round

After awhile, it's all bad luck

I'm no good for you
