I've been in a little pain of my own design Here at the pity party, weeks on end I've been staying up too late, drinking cheap red wine Looking through my phone for the name of an old friend Nothing's gone the way I planned, I've been all over, all over I keep working harder than I can, starting all over, all over And over and over again My mind always wandered off when I tried to pray I was daydreaming of standing on my own Grow your ego tall enough to give you a little shade Then don't complain when it blocks out the sun Nothing's gone the way I planned, I've been all over, all over I keep working harder than I can, starting all over, all over And over and over again Every time I play my songs for a couple of friends It lights a match for dark times to come And every day I manage not to throw the towel in It's counted in my favor in the long run Nothing's gone the way I planned, I've been all over, all over I keep working harder than I can, starting all over, all over And over and over again I've been in a little pain of my own design Here at the pity party, weeks on end
