Dead End - Sam Roberts

Oh what’s wrong with me

Said oh what’s wrong with me

I know what I don’t wanna be

A dead end on the family tree

And I just lost my virginity

To a girl who won’t remember me at all

Took her out on a shopping spree

Happiness never happened for free

Could it be that I imagined things

I’m just sad instead of heartbroken

She came home but she’s leaving again

She’s coming back but she won’t say when

And I don’t sing songs anymore

I don’t feel young anymore

And it’s hard to conceal

That these tears that I cry are for real

Any more

My pop said I should be like him

My mom says I can live with them

I had to ask my little brother to lend

Me change for the bus 'til I see him again

I’m getting drunk every day of the week

My ship sunk but it had no leak

A fortune teller on Bishop street

She read my hand and the future is bleak

I’m tired of sitting upon the fence

I’ve got no self confidence

Why don’t I have a circle of friends

I’m so square they don’t even pretend

Don’t give in

You can never let them win

But I get cold

I get cold

Every night, night, night

Without a prayer in my heart, heart, heart

Oh what’s wrong with me

Said oh Lord what’s wrong with me

I know what I don’t wanna be

A dead end on the family tree

And the train for my salvation

Is departing from the station

She don’t feel like conversation

So I’m talking to myself

I got nobody else

I got my bottle of booze and my stale cigarettes

Down from the shelf
