  • Well, I'm no man of letters
    Feel like no man at all
    Well I had one to offer
    You just took him that's all

    That you could do for another man
    Who had somethin' to give
    Take what the boy's got
    Leave him dyin' to live

    With his piece of paper
    Peace of mind
    I can piece together
    What you left behind
    Remember the place
    That you left me that time
    Well I'm callin' from there

    Didn't cry, didn't die
    I don't know why I believed your lie
    That I heard before in the rules of the game
    You can lose just the same

    Well I'm still feelin' better
    And I hope that it don't take too long
    I heard stories about men
    Who just leave and stay gone

    But there's too much to live with
    And there's very little wrong
    Bein' satisfied, singin' on
    With one more song

    With my piece of paper
    Peace of mind
    If I can piece together
    What you left behind
    Remember the place
    That you left me that time
    Well I'm callin' from there
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah, yeah
