Homeless

When you were alive, I was never alone
 Somewhere in the world, there was something called home
 And as long as you lived, I would be allright
 There were reasons to win, and incentives to fight
 Now I'm smoking again. I thought all that was through
 And I don't wanna live. But what else can I do
 And I feel like I've faked all that I ever did
 And I've grown a gray beard, but I cry like a kid
 I was seven when I sang you'd rosin the bow
 There in Aunt Mary's kitchen and I don't guess I know
 That it's why I've done this for all of this time
 But now I'm playing and singing, seems a game or a crime
 People have called to find out if I'm fine
 I assure them I am. But I'm not - it's a lie
 They say in the end, your good friends pull you through
 But everyone knows, my best friend was you.
 Hey, I've gotten some help. I guess I was afraid
 You suppose something will happen when someone is paid
 But I am getting better once again I'll be strong
 After all, listen, I'm singing this song
 When you were alive I was never alone
 Somewhere in the world there was something called home
 Now I feel like I'm homeless but I will be alright
 I'll get through the days. I'll face-down the night.
