I lie awake for the hundredth time
I'll toss and turn till dawn again
Replaying all our conversations
Just wishing I could make amends
I know it's pointless
I can sense your disappointment
From downstairs
Smoking a cigarette on the front porch
Please just don't feel sorry for me
It's the last thing I need
I'm nothing more than a common man
I still remember the day that everything changed
The dirty looks that you gave
That keep my mind in a cage
Tortured and confused, you threw me away
Why did you throw me away?
How could you throw me away?
Please just don't feel sorry for me
It's the last thing I need
I'm nothing more than a common man
(So lay to rest everything that you ever thought of me)
(I never needed your sympathy)
These are the things
(I never knew you had this in you)
That keep me awake
(To torture someone like you do)
You say you forgive me
(I never knew you had this in you)
But you can't forget this
(To torture someone like you do)
