For the Life of Me Lyrics
Well, I know you find it hard to smile
To keep your happiness in style
You pass in silence in the mornin'
You know you shouldn't ever try to ignore meAnd you look to be pretty nervous
Sweaty hands and blood shot eyes
It's so hard to identify you
Just a loser in a loser's disguiseShe don't back down
And she won't come around here
And there's all this talk about dying
Man, I don't get it, for the life of meWith your fingernails painted red
And your eyes all ready to wed
Decorated from head to toe
Like a magician in a talent showShe don't back down
She don't come around here
And there's all this talkin' about dying
Man, I don't get it, for the life of meAnd so, you smoked your last cigarette
Blindfolded on a train from Tibet
And broke your last bottle of wine
And unraveled your last ball of twineShe don't back down
She don't come around here
Now, there's all this talkin' about dying
Man, I don't get it, for the life of meShe don't back down
She don't come around here
Now, there's all this talkin' about dying
Man, I don't get it, for the life of meWell, I know you find it hard to smile
To keep your happiness in style
You pass in silence in the mornin'
You know you don't need to to ignore meNow, there's all this talk about dying
Man, I don't get it, for the life of me
