Once upon a time, they called me the bleeder
Swimmin' up this river, with sentimental fever
But this ain't my first ride, it ain't my last try
Got to keep movin' on
If they catch me ever, they'll throw me back foreverI guess I should be ashamed
But I forget to be vain
I did the best I could, I guess
But everything just bleeds
They say you're only sad and lonely
And no one is impressedI sent it off in a letter, I need somethin' better
Than a nail and a hammer to put me back together
But this ain't my first ride, it ain't my last try
Just got to keep a movin' on
Got to keep this together, maybe next time is never
I guess I should be ashamed
But I forget to be vain
I did the best I could, I guess
But everything just bleeds
They say you're only sad and lonely
And no one is impressedSometimes I must confess
I do feel a little overdressed
Sometimes it's hard to tell the wishing from the well
Where you threw the penny and where it fellI guess I should be ashamed
But I forget to be vain
I did the best I could, I guess
But everything just bleeds
I guess I should be ashamed
But I forget to be vain
I did the best I could, I guess
But everything just bleeds
They say you're only sad and lonely
And no one is impressed
