(Check! Check!)

[Verse 1]
So I'm alone for the first time in 5 years
Holy fuck! Things have changed
I'm happy to see you can live without me
I've sorted out my life, my tragic life

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't pat yourself on the back yet
Just shut your mouth
And pay your rent
And make a record they'll never forget

[Chorus]
I care too much, too much to leave
You don't turn your back on family
Besides, how could I ever look you in the eye
Without knowing that I tried?

[Verse 2]
Thank god it wasn't winter
When all this me and you shit hit the fan
The sun, the streets, the records I bought
Were my crutches again and again
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't pat yourself on the back yet
Just shut your mouth
And pay your rent
This is a year that you'll never forget

[Chorus]
I care too much, too much to leave
You don't turn your back on family
Besides, how could I ever look you in the eye
Without knowing that I tried?

[Bridge]
Change is something I accept
But I can't accept the stranger in you
So please (so please)
Oh please (oh please)
Oh please make this a dream

[Verse 3]
So I'm alone for the first time in 5 years
Holy fuck, things have changed

[Chorus]
I care too much, too much to leave
You don't turn your back on family
Besides, how could I ever look you in the eye
Without knowing that I tried?
