"Evaporated" by Ben Folds Five

What I've kept with me
And what I've thrown away
Don't know where the hell I've ended up
On this glarey, random day
Were the things I really cared about
Just left along the way?
For being too pent up and proud
Woke up way too late
Feeling hung over and old
And the sun was shining bright
And I walked barefoot down the road
Started thinking about my old man
It seems that all men
Wanna get into a car and go
Anywhere
Here I stand, sad and free
I can't cry, and I can't see
What I've done
No, God, what have I done?
Don't you know I'm numb, man
No I can't feel a thing at all
'Cause it's all smiles and business these days
And I'm indifferent to the loss
I've faith that there's a soul somewhere
That's leading me around
I wonder if she knows which way is down?
Here I stand, sad and free
I can't cry, and I can't see
What I've done
No, God, what have I done?
I poured my heart out
I poured my heart out
It evaporated
See?
Blind man on a canyon's edge
Of a panoramic scene
Or maybe I'm a kite that's flying high
And random dangling a string
Or slumped over in a vacant room
Head on a stranger's knee
I'm sure back home
They think I've lost my mind
Here I stand, sad and free
I can't cry, and I can't see
What I've done
No, God, what have I done?
This is one of my favorite BFF songs. I love it so much, I bought the sheet music. Now I can play and sing it [very, very badly] any time I wish.
My favorite song lyric of all time:
"The cruelest lies are often told without a word.
The kindest truths are often spoke but never heard." Ben Folds Five
