As Bad As This (Curulewski) - 6:10

Did you ever in your life before
Feel as bad as this?
Did you ever in good time think
My life had gone amiss?
Now I feel I've been unfair
'cause I catch you hanging there.
Did you ever in your life before
Feel as bad as this?

God knows I tried a half a year
But it didn't do no good.
My damnedest try to make it work,
I knew it never would.
Now there's nothin' wrong with you,
And there's nothing you could ever do.
God knows I tried a half a year
But it didn't do no good.

The times were good,
But over now,
A pleasant memory.
I'm sorry, there's another face
One that's close to me.
You know 'bout what I learned
And there's no stone left unturned.
The times were good,
But over now,
A pleasant memory. (Sigh)
