I know ashes slowly burn
But every fool has a lesson that's hard to learn
It's a desperate plea but I must say
Oh God, help me make it just one more day
There's a glass on the table beside my bed
Where I sleep with a bottle and I wake up dead
I got a hole in the bottom of both my shoes
Hey, my step's been heavy since I heard the news
Hey, and I know just what you'll say
When I tell you that I'm sorry that I let you get away
Well, you'll know I found out
That you're someone else's baby now
I see you when I walk down the street
Your smile's in the face of everyone I meet
Oh, and it tears me up to know that he's touching you
Oh, and learning all the secrets that I once knew
Hey, and I know just what you'll say
When I tell you that I'm sorry that I let you get away
Well, you'll know I found out
That you're someone else's baby now
Do you still leave your clothes piled on the floor
Maybe now you're different than you were before
She got a new way of walking and a different kiss
Oh, to keep you together on a night like this
Hey, and I know just what you'll say
When I tell you that I'm sorry that I let you get away
Well, you'll know I found out
That you're someone else's baby now
Hey, and I know just what you'll say
When I tell you that I'm sorry that I let you get away
Well, you'll know I found out
That you're someone else's baby now
Oh, you're someone else's baby now
