The Bum by Matchbox 20

I thought about
Leaving but i couldn't even get outta bed
I'm hangin' cause i couldn't get a ride outta town
Now anyone who really wanted me to be down
Come 'round

Thought about
Singin' but i couldn't remember all of the words
Breakin' but i couldn't get the pieces apart
Laughin' never knowing what the joke was about

Now i'm down
And i wonder how i never got the burn
And if i'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time

Forgot about
Everything and everyone i needed before
Tryin' to get a handle on a reason to shine
Pickin' up the pieces that are falling behind takes time

So i wonder how i never got the burn
And if i'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time and still shine

And i wonder how i never got the burn
And if i'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time

And i wonder how i never got the burn
And if i'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time and still shine
