Dead End Lyrics - We Were Born In A Flame - Sam Roberts

Oh what's wrong with me 

Said oh what's wrong with me 

I know what I don't want to be 

A dead end on the family tree 

And I just lost my virginity 

To a girl who won't remember me at all 

Took her out on a shopping spree 

Happiness never happened for free 

Could it be that I imagined things 

I'm just sad instead of heartbroken 

She came home but she's leaving again 

She's coming back but she won't say when(chorus) 

And I don't sing songs anymore 

I don't feel young anymore 

And it's hard to conceal 

That these tears that I cry are for real 

Any more 

My pop said I should be like him 

My mom says I can live with them 

I had to ask my little brother to lend 

Me change for the bus 'til I see him again 

I'm getting drunk every day of the week 

My ship sunk but it had no leak 

A fortune teller on Bishop street 

She read my hand and the future is bleak 

I'm tired of sitting upon the fence 

I've got no self confidence 

Why don't I have a circle of friends 

I'm so square they don't even pretend 

(chorus) 

Don't give in 

You can never let them win 

But I get cold 

I get cold 

Every night, night, night, 

Without a prayer in my heart, heart, heart 

Oh what's wrong with me 

Said oh Lord what's wrong with me 

I know what I don't want to be 

A dead end on the family tree 

And the train for my salvation 

Is departing from the station 

She don't feel like conversation 

So I'm talking to myself 

I got nobody else 

I got my bottle of booze and my stale cigarettes 

Down from the shelf 

(chorus)
