Lyrics
I can't recall one time in my life I've felt as lonely as I do tonight I feel like I could lay down and get up no more It's the damndest feeling, I never felt it before Tonight I feel like an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again Don't ask me why I feel like this, hell I can't say I only wish this feeling would just go away I guess it's 'cause the truth is the hardest thing I ever faced 'Cause you can't change the truth in the slightest way I tried So I asked myself I said "John, where do you go from here? Then like a fool, I turned around and looked in the mirror And there I would see an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again So one more time, just to be sure I said "John, where in the hell do you go from here?" You know there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference when I looked in the mirror 'Cause there I was seein' an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again And just like that, it hit me Why that old violin and I were just alike We'd give our all to music And soon, we'd give our life
