Nothing like you wish you were,

Verse 2:
G
Before you went away you said you thought
C
Youd try your hand at being a writer,
After all could it really be
G
Worse than waking up on Tuesday mornings
C
to sign away your pride for money?
At least youd have your dignity
G
Yet all the while your mind is drifting back
C
To all those nights when you were happy,
Or at least you thought you were.
G
Nothing here can take away the years you wasted
C
Thinking you werent lonely,
Or alone if you prefer

Yeah its been months and you cant find

A reason why youre holding on, holding on.
