Matchbox 20 - The Bum lyrics

I thought about<br>Leaving but I couldn't even get outta bed<br>I'm hangin' cause I couldn't get a ride outta town<br>Now anyone who really wanted me to be down<br>Come 'round<br><br>Thought about<br>Singin' but I couldn't remember all of the words<br>Breakin' but I couldn't get the pieces apart<br>Laughin' never knowing what the joke was about<br><br>Now I'm down<br>And I wonder how I never got the burn<br>And if I'm ever gonna learn<br>How lonely people make a life<br>One strain at a time<br><br>Forgot about<br>Everything and everyone I needed before<br>Tryin' to get a handle on a reason to shine<br>Pickin' up the pieces that are falling behind takes time<br><br>So I wonder how I never got the burn<br>And if I'm ever gonna learn<br>How lonely people make a life<br>One strain at a time and still shine<br><br>And I wonder how I never got the burn<br>And if I'm ever gonna learn<br>How lonely people make a life<br>One strain at a time<br><br>And I wonder how I never got the burn<br>And if I'm ever gonna learn<br>How lonely people make a life<br>One strain at a time and still shine
