Lyrics
Weakened Condition
by Jon Rose
I'm in a weakened condition
All of my energy gone
I lay awake for hours
Without a care to go on
I try to think of a reason for living
But I can't find one
How did I spoil this gift I'd been given
No use, it's already done
And I've given up on finding someone new
Cause the only I've ever found is you
I'm in a weakened condition
It's gettin' worse by the hour
I never leave my apartment
I never bother to shower
I call a friend just to hear how you're doin'
But it's just bad news
Not for you 'cause you found who you wanted
While I was born to lose
I could kick myself for what I put you through
And I'll let it weigh me down to prove to you
I'm in a weakened condition
It's getting so hard to bear
I never wanted to end it
I never wanted to care
And as for you I hope that you're happy
Even though I'm not
And as for me
I'll keep what I'm doin'
Which ain't a hell of a lot
There's no telling how much longer this will last
Cause I've always fallen victim to my past
I'm in a weakened condition
