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.
[Chorus] 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.
[Chorus]
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.
