I'm Not That Tough

Like a tire that’s lost its tread
You roll on even though I’ve fled
Feelin’ the bumps, the rocks and the holes
Sometimes angry and sometimes scared
I think about all the things we shared
The dreams we chased that took their toll
You said sometimes when things get rough
You break down and you do some stuff
But I said honey I’m not that tough
You said sometimes when things get rough
You break down and you do some stuff
But I said honey I’m not that tough
There’ve been times that I’ve reached out
To other lovers when I’ve had doubt
About where you were and how you’ve been
I’d just walk from room to room
Waiting and hoping you’d be home soon
Knowing I can’t go through it again
You said sometimes when things get rough
You break down and you do some stuff
But I said honey I’m not that tough
I’m not that tough and I don’t think that I can take much more
I’ve had enough of all your lies I’ve heard them all before
Gonna hit the highway now, gonna get my life back I know how
I’m gonna drive til the sun shines
I passed a woman on the street today
She looked at me and then looked away
Like she saw a ghost or a mirror in me
I dialed the phone and you weren’t there
All alone I sat and stared
Out the window crying silently
You said sometimes when things get rough
You break down and you do some stuff
But I said honey I’m not that tough
You said sometimes when things get rough
You break down and you do some stuff
But I said honey I’m not that tough
