Old Man Syndrome

from How To Avoid Your Past by Mike Bell™

lyrics

how do i even begin to describe
that naked feeling i get inside
every time i look into your eyes

every time i think i'm doing fine
thoughts arrive only to remind me
i can act out all i like but
that's not going to impress you

shame on me
for attempting to be happy
i'm a prick, a sting,
a poor excuse, for sentimental attitudes

i can lie my way through anything
into your bed, into your dreams
but when you awake you will realize
there's nothing behind these tired eyes...

I can apologize all i need
you're still the one that drives me crazy
although you seem to think that isn't so,
how does a man learn to let go?

so, shut me up or shut me down
you're the still best thing around
i'm scared to death of being on my own
seems like that's just the way life tends to go...

it's happening all over again....
