after A while

I want you to know
I needed time to rest.
And, I must confess to you.
I am hardest on myself.
All I ever wanted was to try to do my best.
And I want tell the truth now.
I am unwell.
After awhile,
I just lay down.
After awhile, my chin aint up.
Bare-knuckle fighter in the third round.
After awhile, its all bad luck.[Chorus]
Save me. Save me from myself.
Drowning in the wishing well.
I will try to rise above.
I am never good enough.
I want you to know that
I needed time alone.
Dont you try to tell me that you really didnt know.
All I ever wanted was to never leave this bed.
And I want to tell the truth - my smile is just pretend.
After awhile,
I got sleepy.
After awhile, safety lasted.
After awhile, disenchanted.
After awhile,
I just fasted.[Chorus]
After awhile,
I just lay down.
After awhile, my chin aint up.
Bare-knuckle fighter in the third round.
After awhile, its all bad luck.[Chorus]
Im no good for you.
