Here I sit all alone just a wonderin' why
You must have slipped out while I was high
I know just how it feels and I'm not blamin' you
'Cause if I had to choice I'd avoid me too.
I've heard tell people say
I'm half worth nothin' at all
While that may not be true
Dead to rights
It sure ain't landin' far wrong.
There's little question or none
Wasn't much you could do
And if I had the choice I'd avoid me too.
--- Instrumental ---
Now I'm having fears and doubts
Right along with everyone else
And here lately I'm not so sure
I should even be seen with myself.
But here I sit all alone just a wonderin' why
I guess you slipped out while I was high
I know just how it feels and I'm not blamin' you
'Cause if I had the choice I'd avoid me too.
If I had the choice
If I had the choice
If I had the choice,
I'd avoid me too...
