Can I ever get tired of asking for things Well everybody else does I'm not the only one suffering But I wish I was All they want is a pat on the back For putting up with me for so long So many imaginary reasons For treating everybody so wrong Stringing them along Could I have been more wrong When my friends are no longer around Reality won't hold me All of my buddies feel run down I'm not the man I used to be Somebody please help me get a grip Before it's too late The smoke's revealed a glimpse of the cliff And the floor is slipping away And I can't blame it on the match Doesn't have to act tough Cause there ain't no reason to act If I lose everybody I love Stringing them along Could I have been more wrong When my friends are no longer around Reality won't hold me All of my buddies feel run down I'm not the man I used to be When my friends are no longer around Reality won't hold me All of my buddies feel run down I'm not the man I used to be When my friends are no longer around Reality won't hold me All of my buddies feel run down I'm not the man I used to be
