Bitterness or Sympathy

Lyrics

The first night I should've left you before I shut my eyes
 I prayed to God I'd wake up somewhere else
 And when the morning came to find me
 You were sleeping there beside me
 I wondered if this nightmare ever ends
 The door was left wide open
 And the neighbors, they were smoking
 In the afternoon to pass away the time
 And you looked at me so cold
 And said 'this house is not my home'
 I wish you'd knew how true that felt most nights
 Is it bitterness or sympathy?
 That keeps you standing here with me
 I'm not sure how much more I can take
 'Cause I have sacrificed my peace of mind
 To sit here with you wasting time
 Now I think I'd like to walk away
 I was standing in Ohio on the 28th of March
 With the guitar in a suitcase in my hands
 And when the wind had stole my cap
 Lord, all I could do is laugh
 Thank the stars I'm still a drinking man
 Is it bitterness or sympathy?
 That keeps you standing here with me
 I'm not sure how much more I can take
 'Cause I have sacrificed my peace of mind
 To sit here with you wasting time
 Now I think I'd like to walk away
 I was walking in a graveyard where no one that I know rests
 Thinking maybe I could clear my head
 And on the cemetery breeze I heard a song about belief
 Some with a thunder I can't understand
 Is it bitterness or sympathy?
 That keeps you standing here with me
 I'm not sure how much more I can take
 'Cause I have sacrificed my peace of mind
 To sit here with you wasting time
 Now I think I'd like to walk away
