The Good Things End

I used to think I was a nice guy
But I don't know
It doesn't seem to matter how hard I try
It doesn't show
Everybody says that I love them the wrong way
Everybody listen to what I have to say

I've been taking hits ever since I was a kid
And I'm never gonna quit
I have learned to live with it
I've got my regrets that I wish I could forget
And I'll never understand why all the good things end

I've lived like a bum inside of a van
Trying as hard as I fucking can
Sacrificed everything for the mic and lights
And I still have empty hands
Can't see a dentist, can't see my friends
Can't afford a cell phone, can't pay rent
I'm a struggling musician in a bad position
Do you think you can understand

I've been taking hits ever since I was a kid
And I'm never gonna quit
I have learned to live with it
I've got my regrets that I wish I could forget
And I'll never understand why all the good things end
Will I ever understand why it's all gotta end

If living well is the best revenge
Then I'm glad to say that I'm doing well
I've called some people my friends
And just found out that they've been running their mouths
And it's stopping now
They've talked about me for years
And still they've always appeared that they were being sincere
If I ever get to see the life of my dreams
I'll be clear and free of this black cloud over me
And this two faced absentee
I don't give a shit
If you knew me, just forget
Don't pretend to be my friend
Cause that's the way it is

I've been taking hits ever since I was a kid
And I'm never gonna quit
I have learned to live with it
I've got my regrets that I wish I could forget
And I'll never understand why all the good things
Will I ever understand why it's all gotta end
