That's Where I Am

By Bruce Clifford

Everybody has a story to tell
But in this one she told me to go hell
That's where I am

Everybody has had to live with a broken heart
But this time it has torn my world apart
That's where I am

I guess you've heard it all before
So this should be no surprise
I guess you knew this had to be
Another faulty sunrise

Now my eyes are tired
My mind is weak
All I ever want to do
Is dream and sleep

I'm not really sure what's keeping me alive
One day I will find what's on the other side

Everybody has a story to tell
But in this one she told me to go hell
That's where I am
It must have been her plan

I guess you've heard it all before
So this should be no surprise
I guess you knew this had to be
Another faulty sunrise
Blame it on me
Or blame it on geography
