Bad World

Splashing in the surf, I was low, the tide was high

You took off in a blur when a wave took me by surprise

You were the only one I counted on

Covering the hurt by getting high and raising hell

You wept on my shoulder cause you did not know how to help

You were one of few I counted on

I turned mean and I turned cold

I guess that's why I never let you know

You brought some good to my bad world

Dusting myself off, getting back up on my feet

But you don't wanna talk unless you're the only one speaking

You used to be the only one I counted on

I came home but you weren't there

Just a stranger sitting in your rocking chair

I wish I had told you that you brought some good to my bad world

I grew up and I started my own family

And I wish you felt like you could count on me

Cause for so long you were the only one I counted on
