My lips are shakin', my nails are bit off Been a month since I've heard myself talk All the advances this life's got on me Picture a cup in the middle of the sea And I fight back in my mind Never lets me be right, oh I got memories, I got shit So much it don't show I walked the line When you held me in that night I walked the line When you held my hand that night An empty shell seems so easy to crack Got all these questions, don't know who I could even ask So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me And I'll stay in a bed Oh could've seen it If just once, I could feel loved Oh, stare back at me, yeah But I walked the line When you held me in that night Oh, I walked the line When you held my hand that night Oh, I walked the line When you held me close at night I paid the price, never held you in real life
