Desperation

there ain't nothin' here
that's holdin' me.
i could get home anytime
that i wanna be.

i'm tryin' to hold on
for as long as i can.
it means nothin' to you
but i'm makin' my stand.

i just thought you should know.
you've been a friend to me.
but don't hold me too close
i feel so empty.

i'm confused and tired
and a little bit drunk.
like i'm bailin' out a boat
that's already sunk.

so, if you could see your way clear
please let me go.
i've said all there's to say
and you know all you can know.
