Songtext Worn so thin Alkaline Trio

Worn so thin

I’ll start afresh
A brand new beginning
That gives our kids a “why”
Never finish anything, and all our debts were totally worthless
If I accrue a week or two, or let’s just say a year or so
‘Cause that’s the way these days seem to go and go
And I just feel so helpless

Don’t tell me to just calm down
Now there’s a shortcut right under my skin
And all I want is to freak out
But my apologies are worn so thin

(Hey!)

I’m sorry friend
With all these fucking problems, I should make you rich
Doors are open in the cell block of my filthy head
But these things are smokeless

Don’t tell me to just calm down
Now there’s a shortcut right under my skin
And all I want is to freak out
But my apologies are worn so thin
Yeah, that’s a quality I’ve worn so thin

When we empty out like paper cups
The parking lot, it’s hard
To feel like anything but garbage, wasted
Now we empty out (empty out)
And we empty out (empty out)
‘Til there’s nothing left (nothing left)
‘Til there’s nothing left (nothing left)

Don’t tell me to just calm down
Now there’s a shortcut right under my skin
And all I want is to freak out
But my apologies are worn so thin

Don’t tell me to just calm down
Now there’s a shortcut right under my skin
And all I want is to freak out
But my apologies are worn so thin
Yeah, that’s a quality I’ve worn so thin
