[Verse 1]
I'm picking up again
Well it got too much
After the accident
It could feel no worse

D'you know anything I'm going through

I don't like to read the news
D'you know anything I'm going through
I don't like to read the news
D'you know anything I'm going through
And she calls

[Chorus]
I don't like to read the news
D'you know anything I'm going through
I don't like to read the news
D'you know anything I'm going through
And she calls
