As Bad As This Lyrics - The Serpent Is Rising - Styx

Written by john curulewski

Did you ever in your life before 

Feel as bad as this? 

Did you ever in good time think 

My life had gone amiss? 

Now I feel I've been unfair 

'cause I catch you hanging there. 

Did you ever in your life before 

Feel as bad as this? 

God knows I tried a half a year 

But it didn't do no good. 

My damnedest try to make it work, 

I knew it never would. 

Now there's nothin' wrong with you, 

And there's nothing you could ever do. 

God knows I tried a half a year 

But it didn't do no good. 

The times were good, 

But over now, 

A pleasant memory. 

I'm sorry, there's another face 

One that's close to me. 

You know 'bout what I learned 

And there's no stone left unturned. 

The times were good, 

But over now, 

A pleasant memory. (sigh)
