Telling Stories

Okay, it's time to get it straight with you
 I'm trying to tell the truth or to be honest
 I've been feeling like a ton of bricks
 I can be such a prick
 I'm sorry, thanks for being here
 Nobody ever listens to me

 Emily loves her job, she loves her health, yeah
 She says it feels good
 To love just a little bit of yourself
 I know she's right, but it's hard to tell
 'Cause I wouldn't know how it feels
 You cry yourself to sleep some times
 You can't win
 
 Don't waste my time telling stories
 I've wasted mine, and it was right now
 It's been ten years standing at the bus stop
 Never had a real job
 Never had anything on a plate
 It's a shame
 It's not the things you know, it's the friends you make

 And Jack didn't know shit
 He got far, but he didn't know when to quit
 Showing off, but he's gotta get a grip, yeah
 Jack just can't live without it
 Don't be a man about it now
 If you hold it in, you gotta let it out
 You gotta help yourself put the bottle down
 If you try
 You might like what you find to see

 Everybody else
 Everybody only talks about themselves
 Have you ever felt lost in a window
 Desperate to be loved and just been thrown out
 Ten years standing at the bus stop
 Never had a real job
 Never had anything
 One more night dying on the inside
 Now I'm trying to get it right
 Is anybody listening?
