Dead End

Sam Roberts


Oh what's wrong with me 
Said oh what's wrong with me 
I know what I don't wanna be 
A dead end on the family tree 
And I just lost my virginity 
To a girl who won't remember me at all 
Took her out on a shopping spree 
Happiness never happened for free 
Could it be that I imagined things 
I'm just sad instead of heartbroken 
She came home but she's leaving again 
She's coming back but she won't say when(chorus) 
And I don't sing songs anymore 
I don't feel young anymore 
And it's hard to conceal 
That these tears that I cry are for real 
Any more 
My pop said I should be like him 
My mom says I can live with them 
I had to ask my little brother to lend 
Me change for the bus 'til I see him again 
I'm getting drunk every day of the week 
My ship sunk but it had no leak 
A fortune teller on Bishop street 
She read my hand and the future is bleak 
I'm tired of sitting upon the fence 
I've got no self confidence 
Why don't I have a circle of friends 
I'm so square they don't even pretend 
(chorus) 
Don't give in 
You can never let them win 
But I get cold 
I get cold 
Every night, night, night, 
Without a prayer in my heart, heart, heart 
Oh what's wrong with me 
Said oh Lord what's wrong with me 
I know what I don't wanna be 
A dead end on the family tree 
And the train for my salvation 
Is departing from the station 
She don't feel like conversation 
So I'm talking to myself 
I got nobody else 
I got my bottle of booze and my stale cigarettes 
Down from the shelf 
(chorus)
