Oh mother
Theres a hole in my side
And comfort is only a need of mine
And I get lonely
At any chance that I might get

Your arms cant hold whats going on inside
And youll see just what you want me to be
And Ill be fine just as soon as I find

If the words I say
Throw and sway
Ive seen myself mixed up
Ive never had this much
Your heart always beats
You will always sleep
And you would never know

You say youve won a part of life
I say, youve been bitten by the cold
And youll swing at any chance that you might get

(chorus)

If the words I say
Throw and sway
Ive seen myself mixed up
Ive never had this much

The words I say
Seem maybe tame
Ive seen my mixups
Never really come to much

(chorus) x 2

And maybe I should find a place to hide
And maybe Ill burn down the place I hide
And I get lonely at any chance that I might get
And Ill get lonely just as soon as I find
Some hope
Some truth
And never be bought again
And you would never know
And you need never know

(chorus)
