I wish that I could be the way I once was
But God's got other plans for me
Some people say the worst is almost over
But I don't see how that could be
When I think too much about it
I can barely breathe
And if I'm still alive
When the autumn k**s the leaves
I guess I'll be what they consider free
They'll say what makes you happy
But I warn you:
This time I'm not gonna listen
It's hard to tell until you look a little closer
Then you can see right through 'em
Every time I think about it
I can barely breathe
And if I'm still alive
When the autumn k**s the leaves
I guess I'll be what they consider free
They'll lead us all to water but I'll bet you
They'd just as soon watch us drown
It never happens how you really want it
So hope someday you'll live it down
When I think too much about it
I can barely breathe
And if I'm still alive
When the autumn k**s the leaves
I guess I'll be what they consider free
