Good Day to Start
Midnight come early this evening
Loneliness was in the air
And I found myself grieving
Feelin' more than my share

So I went through empty boxes
Of promises in print
Recountin' all my wins and losses
In letters that I had never sent

And I’m alone again
On the back side of another twelve o’clock
I’m at home with no friends
I’m starin' at the telephone and wishin' I was not
I’m just waitin' for someone to come and tear me all apart
So if you were waitin' baby hesitatin' to break my heart
This would be a real good day to start

Sometimes I scare myself so badly
That I can’t hardly sleep
Everything just seems so heavy where I’m at
Underneath these one ton sheet
So I light myself a fire
And let it burn out my brain
I sit and wait for the flicker of desire
To turn to ashes turn to ashes in the teardrops of rain

And I’m alone again
On the back side of another twelve o’clock
I’m at home with no friends
I’m starin' at the telephone and wishin' I was not
I’m just waitin' for someone to come and tear me all apart
So if you were waitin' baby hesitatin' to break my heart
This would be a real good day to start

And I’m alone again
On the back side of another twelve o’clock
I’m at home with no friends
I’m starin' at the telephone and wishin' I was not
I’m just waitin' for someone to come and tear me all apart
So if you were waitin' baby hesitatin' to break my heart
This would be a real good day to start
