Only Worse

(앨범: You And You Alone - 1998)

I just dropped in, 'cause I could use a friend
And a little bit of consolation
I'm hanging by a thread from the southern end of my rope
If you really wanna know
I'll do my best to explain my situation
Maybe I can find the words
If the tears don't get me first.

It's kinda like falling from the sky
When you're up a mile high
And your parachute won't open
Kinda like clinging to the bottom of the bottom
When the bottom drops out
The only way I know to say how bad her leaving hurts
It's kinda like a heartache, only worse
Only worse.

It wasn't my first brush with love
But this one was the deepest
Yeah, I've been blue, but this time it's closer to black
Swore, I'd never get hurt again
But here I am in pieces
When this one broke my heart that was just the start.

It's kinda like falling from the sky
When you're up a mile high
And your parachute won't open
Kinda like clinging to the bottom of the bottom
When the bottom drops out
The only way I know to say how bad her leaving hurts
It's kinda like a heartache, only worse
Only worse.

It's kinda like being cut open
Kinda like being burned at the stake
Kinda like drowning in the ocean
Knowing there's no help on the way.

It's kinda like falling from the sky
When you're up a mile high
And your parachute won't open
Kinda like clinging to the bottom of the bottom
When the bottom drops out
The only way I know to say how bad her leaving hurts
It's kinda like a heartache, only worse
Only worse...
