I read the paper turn on the news
And wear the floors out wonderin' what to do - oh
The sun is bright but it doesn't shine
I try to fight it but it happens every time
(Chorus)
When you're gone day is night
When you're gone it's an uphill fight
When you're gone baby nothin' nothin's right
I'm goin' crazy sinkin' like a stone
My friends are calling sayin don't sit home alone but
It's not the same with anybody else
It won't be long 'till I'm talkin' to myself
(Repeat Chorus)
So I watch that clock on the wall not movin' at all
Just frozen in time
And I don't mind letting you know I'm ready to go
Right out of my mind
The morning after the night before
It's hard to tell the difference anymore
Instead of growing stronger I'm just getting weak
Instead of k**in' time I think it's k**in' me
(Repeat Chorus)
