I'm sitting here in darkness
A glass of whiskey at my feet
I've been beggin' for forgiveness
But I'd settle for some peace


Because I miss all of my old friends
They don't know me anymore
It's easy to get lost on the ocean
When you've traveled this far from shore


So come on baby,
Smile real big
Even if I've had no part in it
And don't worry darlin'
Just so you know,
If you walk away, I promise not to follow


I'm scared of being lonely
But I've got a lot to learn about love
It works both ways, or so I've been told
I guess I'm the only one I'm thinking of


Because I've been blinded by ambition
I'm growing bored with this routine
Tell me what's so great about success, darlin'
If I ain't got no one to share it with me


So come on baby,
Smile real big
Even if I've had no part in it
And don't worry darlin'
Just so you know,
If you walk away, I promise not to follow


So don't worry darlin'
Just so you know,
If this is you walking away
I promise not to follow
