The Bum Lyrics - Matchbox 20

I thought about 

Leaving but I couldn't even get outta bed 

I'm hangin' cause I couldn't get a ride outta town 

Now anyone who really wanted me to be down 

Come 'round 

Thought about 

Singin' but I couldn't remember all of the words 

Breakin' but I couldn't get the pieces apart 

Laughin' never knowing what the joke was about 

Now I'm down 

And I wonder how I never got the burn 

And if I'm ever gonna learn 

How lonely people make a life 

One strain at a time 

Forgot about 

Everything and everyone I needed before 

Tryin' to get a handle on a reason to shine 

Pickin' up the pieces that are falling behind takes time 

So I wonder how I never got the burn 

And if I'm ever gonna learn 

How lonely people make a life 

One strain at a time and still shine 

And I wonder how I never got the burn 

And if I'm ever gonna learn 

How lonely people make a life 

One strain at a time 

And I wonder how I never got the burn 

And if I'm ever gonna learn 

How lonely people make a life 

One strain at a time and still shine
