Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm picking up again, well it got too much
After the accident, it could feel no worse
I turned around and saw him hit the ground
A little earlier it was a game
I guess the barrier must have dropped away
[Verse 2]
I don't like to read the news
Do you know anything I'm going through?
I don't like to read the news
Do you know anything I'm going through?
And she calls
[Verse 3]
Did you see my photograph, it was on page ten
I swore to everyone, I'm not to blame
I turned around and saw him hit the ground
A little earlier it was a game
I'm so disposable, you can throw me away
[Verse 4]
I don't like to read the news
Do you know anything I'm going through?
I don't like to read the news
Do you know anything I'm going through?
And she calls
[Verse 5]
What a fool I've been
Didn't get to him in time
What's been happening?
It's so hard to sleep at night
It's so hard to sleep at night
Hard to sleep at night
[Verse 6]
I don't like to read the news
Do you know anything I'm going through?
I don't like to read the news
Do you know anything I'm going through?
And she calls
