It's not that I don't love younOr are tired of your waysnI want you to knownnThat's I'm always thinking of younYou know I'd take you with me nWherever I gonnBut I catch myself in the mirrornAnd I remember I gotta do something about my lifennFor I'm as empty as the clothes that I laidnCrumpled where they fell to the floornI'm as empty as the ten green bottlesnHanging in my mind from the night beforenAnd an ashtray full of moments nSpent thinking about the things I nShould have donennI say goodbye to another old friendnYeah they stayed through thick and thinnThrough the laughter and the tearsnThrough every state that I've been innAnd I know they don't wanna hurt menBut I can see it in their eyesnThat they're killing me so gentlynHow can I ever say goodbyenFor as young me we clattered through these streetsnAnd how we hit this town runnin'nAnd we were so sure of being us nWe flattened everything that stood in our pathnNow I wake up and I have to find myselfnThrough all the shit that once told me who I wasnI say goodbye to so many old friendsnHere I left them to the windnAnd there ain't much point in chasingnThe things you can never get back againnBut there's still some life in this onenGive me a match and I'll reminiscenOf a time when we were youngernAnd we were stealing our first cracknAnd our thoughts had turned to dyingnAnd we were unaware at the timenThat this ride it could ever fall....nCould ever slow down to this time...nFor I've been drunk and stoned and feeling mellownAnd that's how I've been getting throughnLooking at the blurry shapes around menThinking I knew more than I knewnAnd it's not that i don't love younOr are tired your waysnIf i could only take you with menIf i could only ease this pain
