So I’m alone for the first time in five years,
 Holy [bad word]  things have changed.
 I’m happy to see you can live without me.
 I’ve sorted out my life, my tragic life.
 Don’t pat yourself on the back yet.
 Just shut your mouth and pay your rent.
 And make a record they’ll never forget.

 I care too much, too much to leave.
 Don’t turn your back on family.
 Besides, how could I ever look you in the eye
 Without knowing that I tried?

 Thank God it wasn’t winter
 When all this me and you [bad word] hit the fan.
 The sun, the streets, the records I bought
 Were my [bad word] again and again.
 Don’t pat yourself on the back yet.
 Just shut your mouth and pay your rent.
 This is a year that you’ll never forget.

 I care too much, too much to leave.
 Don’t turn your back on family.
 Besides, how could I ever look you in the eye
 Without knowing that I tried?

 Change is something I accept,
 But I can’t accept a stranger in you
 So please, so please, so please make this a dream.

 So I’m alone for the first time in five years,
 Holy [bad word]  things have changed.

 I care too much, too much to leave.
 Don’t turn your back on family.
 Besides, how could I ever look you in the eye
 Without knowing that I tried, I tried, I tried?
