My teeth are like scattered marbles
Busted through shaken down
I am so shaken up
I can’t get myself up off the ground
My head’s still ringing but
I can only see her screaming and a crying
I feel so dizzy, I forget to breathe
Don’t even realize what’s become of me
Then the sobering wall of pain
Just beats all on me
I am so horrified
This has got to be a dream or a lie
Why oh why
Why oh why
Did I choose to be a fool
Why oh why
Why oh why
Did I loose my cool
No Chris this is reality
This is actually happening
It felt just like a movie
But all I could see were stars
I was ready to be
Buried right then and there
I was so ashamed of myself
I felt so weak, I couldn’t even move
But these things happen
And I will move on
But there’s still this chorus ringing in my head
And it goes, it goes, it goes
Why oh why
Why oh why
Did I loose my cool
Why oh why
Why oh why
Did I act a fool
I wish I could travel back in time and say Chris shut up and keep on walking
But that didn’t happen and I was beat to the ground there laying
And the next day my father and I looked for my teeth and looked but we couldn’t find them there so they stay
I wonder if they’re buried there
Maybe like a little seeds
Planted in the grass
I’ll walk on by some day
And there will be a tree there
There will be three Chris’s waving a friendly "hello"
With a big ol’ smile
