Bleeders - Lyrics by The Wallflowers


Lyrics
Once upon a time 
They called me the bleeder

Well swimmin' up this river

With sentimental fever

But this ain't my first ride

It ain't my last try

Just got to keep a-movin' on

If they catch me ever

They'll throw me back forever


[chorus:]
I guess I should be ashamed

But I forget to be vain

Well I did the best I could I guess

But everything just bleeds

They say you're only sad and lonely

And no one is impressed

I sent it off in a letter
I need somethin' better

Than a nail and a hammer
To put me back together

But this ain't my first ride
It ain't my last try

Just got to keep a-movin on

Got to keep this together

Maybe next time is never


[chorus]


Sometimes I must confess
I do feel a little over dressed

Sometimes it's hard to tell the wishing from the well

Where you threw the penny and where it fell

I guess I should I should be ashamed

But I forget to be vain

Well I did the best I could I guess

But everything just bleeds
I guess I should be ashamed


But I forget to be vain

Well I did the best I could I guess

But everything just bleeds

They say you're only sad and lonely

And no one is impressed
