lyrics

She said have you been doing ok
I said no, not today
Well I’m five hundred miles from happiness
But the gas makes it hard not to stay
She said I’ve heard you’ve felt a lot of pain
And you feel like you’ve got nothing left to gain
And everything you pride yourself in is slipping away

I said I’ve already been to hell
And the devil stole my soul
And he auctioned it off for sale
But I’ve never felt the pain
Not with cocaine running through my vains

And ain’t it a shame, Ain’t it a shame
How nothing ever changes for the better
For the better, for me
And ain’t it a shame, Ain’t it a shame
How nothing ever changes for the better
For the better, for me

She said maybe your too negative
I said maybe girl your just dumb
Cause you ain’t never fell far enough down
To know where I’m picking myself up from
Maybe I’m crazy maybe insane maybe over the edge
But I’m only twenty and I’m too young
Too have already done all this shit

And ain’t it a shame, Ain’t it a shame
How nothing ever changes for the better
For the better, for me
And ain’t it a shame, Ain’t it a shame
How nothing ever changes for the better
For the better, for me
