I been riding on these wheels Since I don't know when Left home as a boy Came back as a man Listened to my daddy say Boy, your heart and soul is your only friend It was cold today It was cold last night It's been cold all year Baby, it hurts inside An innocent addiction stole my pride Made me a lonely man Baby, how soon we forget We stare it in the eyes See we haven't even lived yet I tried to run, I couldn't catch my breath We didn't die on love We died on blood and sweat I pulled myself together But that took some time Learned to sleep alone Still don't know why We lost the battle, baby Surrendered to the word goodbye
