Looking Bad/Feeling Worse

Standing by the side of the tracks
I got sidetracked and lost my train of thought
And missed my train
Story of my life it seems
Intentions are good but only in dreams
When I wake up the pieces don’t fit
So I tell myself to just roll with it
All night

Well my voice is coarse, my eyes not stable
And I’ll ride a dead horse ‘til I’m not able
And my hands are tied, my boots are shaking
Since the deal with the devil my hand was making
These are the sort of things I’ve learned to accept

Don’t recall the last time I was first
I’m looking bad and feeling worse
Try to speak my thoughts to you
But every time my lips are pursed
Now I’m looking bad and feeling worse

Confident I seem, high self-esteem
But subconsciously, a self-conscious me
Looking for a lucky coin but the last one’s tossed
Now I search for a map just to get lost
Just to get lost now

Don’t recall the last time I was first
I’m looking bad and feeling worse
Try to speak my thoughts to you
But every time my lips are pursed
Now I’m looking bad and feeling worse

You’re pretty, and I’m a good-looking man
But I’m pretty good at looking bad

Don’t recall the last time I was first
I’m looking bad and feeling worse
Try to speak my thoughts to you
But every time my lips are pursed
Now I’m looking bad and feeling worse
