i am feeling lost in my own town and there s no place i want to settle down i am lost without a love or an answer from above does someone know an easier way out and in my darkest hour of despair i m only glad she wasn t there see me as the lights went out and all that i could think about was where she was and does she really care billy died of a broken heart couldn t bear to be apart from the one he loved too much billy died of a broken heart couldn t bear to be apart from the one he loved too much when i break out of this iron cast i ll lay all of my ghosts in the past friends that i thought i knew where were you when i needed you and lovers that had torn me apart it seems the more i chase the further you run faster than a bullet from a gun that shot me through this heart of stone now all that s left is skin and bones i tell you this is the end for me billy died of a broken heart couldn t bear to be apart from the one he loved too much billy died of a broken heart couldn t bear to be apart from the one he loved too much
