Styx - As Bad As This

(John Curulewski)

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)
