lyrics

Sympathy

6/8 6/8 4/4
Wake up, in cold sweat
On the back porch
I'm strung out
Left to dry
I've been wrung out
Again

I've got three bucks and some change
I pray that you feel the same
About the way you thought about me
When I left

Well I know
You know
We know
They all know that
I'm no good for this

But I know
You know
We know
They all know
I'm trying
And I'm sorry

(Verse 2)
The summers we got wrecked in garages
Meant so much to me
Where we spent all our nights out drinking
Just remember we're free

And when the whole town caught fire
Well we just got high
We sung the melodies
All drunk and out of key

And I know
you know
We know
They all know
That I'm no good for this

And I know
You know
We know
They all know
I'm trying

And I know I will let you down
And I know I will let you down
And I know I will let you down
[I let you down]

But so did you
I got the message that
I'm better off alone
And when I'm miles away
I'll miss the graces of home

But I, won't let, this kill me
Not yet
I'll take my chances outside
I'll chase my dreams till I'm dead
I have hope

And I know that I will let you down
