When the skin you’re in is wearing thin
When you don’t feel you can begin again
When your dreams are dying on a shelf
When your conversations are with no one else
He was there everyday, then he just went away
Heaven knows, it’s not easy...
When you’re feeling down and there’s no one around
And the weight of it all is laying heavy on you
Heaven knows, it’s not easy...
Words occurred when my love submerged on the road
You better break it down, if you want to stay in town
Work on your sanity, holding tight to fantasy
Heaven knows, it’s not easy...
When I feel you are fine at the end of the line
And I just want to try to get next to you
Heaven knows, it’s not easy...
I feel faded, I feel frustrated, I feel mutated
I better shake it, I better shake it, it’s not easy to do
All my life I heard your advice
I saw with your eyes
Heaven knows, it’s not easy...
When I try all day just to get away from the places you’d go
If I cry all day, or just waste away, would you even know?
