I can't remember when I brushed my teeth The last time it must been several weeks Or when I really had a good night sleep Could this be why you wouldn't talk to me? My mama told me to stay on my feet Most of the time I'm lying in the streets And when I wake up I'm too drunk to eat Could this be why you wouldn't talk to me? Could this be why you wouldn't touch the phone? Am I the reasone why you're never home 'Cause if it is then I just want to say If you pick up then I will change my ways Come home, If you want to save his life Come home, If you want to make things right Come home, His daddy thinke he lost his son Come home, 'Cause he will never change for no one You said some time apart is a good idea But you must understand it's hard for me To be as strong as only you can be Could this be why you wouldn't talk to me? I guess I am my own worst enemy I fought a war with just one casualty So finally one day I came to see This must be why you wouldn't talk to me
