Downtrodden Songtext
von Andrew Lipke

Sorry baby, you can blame me
You know it′s my fault
I had to let you go outside the lines
You could blame me
I couldn't stay there
I had to move on
Now you have to leave it all behind

But make no mistake

You′re out on your own
The bones that you carry
You bury alone
And make no mistake
This place ain't your home
The crowd that you came with is stuck on the road


Downtrodden, black and blue
You can't remember who did this to you
You′re outnumbered, but you′re all alone
You keep wishing you never left home
So you take it, and you break it
You have but so long
No one thinks about you when you're gone
Just another wanderer with a load on your back
Waiting for your own sweet heart to snap

But make no mistake

You′re out on your own
The bones that you carry
You bury alone
And make no mistake
This place ain't your home
The crowd that you came with is stuck on the road
Downtrodden, black and blue
You can′t remember who did this to you
You're outnumbered, but you′re all alone
You keep wishing you never left home

You can't see the place where your hopes all pile up
Reaching for the stars
This could be the day when they all just wake up
Wondering where you are


Make no mistake
You're out on your own
The bones that you carry
You bury alone
And make no mistake
This place ain′t your home
The crowd that you came with is stuck on the road
Downtrodden, black and blue
You can′t remember who did this to you

You're outnumbered, but you′re all alone
You keep wishing you never left home
