a lonely man smokes his last cigarette
as the cold breeze enters the bar
still afraid from what he is
there`s only so much gin can fix
i`ve written pages in the book
big enough for chapters
the hurt won`t leave when will it quit
i`m gonna throw it all away
so don`t try and stop me
i`m not me
and as the hours pass on by
a lonely heart beats on in time
living`s become only existing
and that`s just what people do
get in the car and drive on home
eight years becomes a lifetime
i`m gonna take this car off the side
they found his wallet in the wreck
an ace of clubs and ninety cents
i don`t want to tell the story of this tortured soul
but i see him every day
mirrors open up the room they say
i`m not me
