I'm glad that you can't see me darling

I'm glad you didn't write or call

You would have seen how much I'm changing

I'm just not coping well at all

Sorry if I hurt you darling

But that's the way the dice fall

In a spin with the devil driving

I'm just not coping well at all

They tell me life begins at forty

Well, if that's true, I hope time crawls

For on the downward slide from thirty

I'm just not coping well at all

Dreams all gone and lovers leaving

Battles lost beyond recall

No heroes left I can believe in

I'm just not coping well at all

Look at my life: it's turning away from me

And I've not become the man that I once hoped I'd be

Look at my life: it's just an empty sham

All that trouble and pain just to be what I am

The house is quiet since you left me

There's no love within its walls

Only the lonesome sound of empty

Into the silence falls

Other men can lose their lovers

Bounce back like a rubber ball

I'm just not like those others

I'm just not coping well at all

Look at my life: it's turning away from me

And I've not become the man that I once hoped I'd be

Look at my life: it's just an empty sham

All that trouble and pain just to be what I am

The house is quiet since you left me

There's no love within its walls

Only the lonesome sound of empty

Into the silence falls

Other men can lose their lovers

Bounce back like a rubber ball

I'm just not like those others

I'm just not coping well at all

I'm just not like those others

I'm just not coping well at all
