[Verse 1]
You don't know how I feel
You don't seem to care
If I let you see it through my eyes
You wouldn't see anyone there

[Bridge]
It's no wonder I been cryin'
It's no wonder that I'm blue

[Pre-Chorus 1]
My crazy heart was gone and let somebody know
When it's time for me to go

[Chorus 1]
Tired of being lonely
Tired of what you do to me

[Verse 2]
Hear it raining in my heart
Well I've been lonely before
But I've been so long without sunlight
I can't take another day more

[Bridge]
No wonder I been cryin'
It's no wonder I been blue

[Pre-Chorus 2]
My crazy heart can't tell me why
I can't tell you goodbye

[Chorus 2]
Oh no, I'm tired of all this tragedy
I'm givin' you back you misery

[Hook 1]
You better put on a fast one
I think I'm gonna pull through
You better play another fast one
No matter what you do

[Hook 2]
Put your money in a fast one
I don't wanna hear the blues
Put on another fast one
Tryin' to forget about you

[Bridge]
Well it ain't no wonder I been cryin'
It's no wonder I been blue

[Pre-Chorus 2]
My crazy heart can't tell me why
I can't tell you goodbye

[Chorus 3]
Darlin' I'm tired of being lonely
Tired of what you put me through

[Hook 1]
Now you better put on a fast one
If you want me to pull through
You better play another fast one
No matter what you do

[Hook 2]
Put your money in a fast one
I don't wanna hear the blues
Put on another fast one
Tryin' to forget about you
