lyrics

Remember when she said
you'll always be alone
It echoes in your head
you're sinking like a stone

You know that you're too nice
and nice people make people mad
So maybe she was right, but probably not

Cause you know
Yeah you know

You see it all the time
People's tragic lives
Lie awake at night
People's tragic lives

You're smarter than them all
you've got it figured out
but you're last place in a race that no one knows about
She said that you're a nice guy
and that nice guys finish last
But that's the perfect reason why you're all alone

Cause you know
Yeah you know

That you've been left behind
People's tragic lives
On the other side
People's tragic lives

Remember when she said
you do it to yourself
But you got an empty head
you threw those memories off the shelf
She said that you're a bad guy
You know bad guys rule the world
So maybe she was right

You see it all the time
People's tragic lives
Lie awake at night
People's tragic lives

I get some sweet Brian Blade and the fellowship vibes from this record. I love that and I love this record. It really gets me in a good mood and away from the daily onslaught that is 2020. sndr666
