lyrics

She wakes up on a bedroom floor
Still messed up from the night before
And now she's tearing out the dresser drawers
'Cause she can't find what she's looking for

And I come back to find she's gone
The house is dark but the TV's on
And the radio keeps playing the same old song
It goes....... in between the static goes........

She called one night from Tennessee
Beggin' me "Oh baby, please.
I know since then that I lost touch
But I never lost faith or trust
And I'm not sure where I'm supposed to go
From here."
Well I wouldn't say that I gave up
But I knew you'd never care enough
So I'm not sure what from me
You want to hear

She said "If you'd just say three words to me
Tell me who I'm meant to be
That it would open up my eyes so I could see
The lighter side of my tragedy."
