We’re all widows and orphans here / Everybody’s fillin’ their bag of blues / Spillin’ cursed love stories / And I pretend that I’m amused - I need you / Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down today / I got her name on a tattoo / On the same knuckles that I hit the wall . And she was never sweeter than the distance that separated us / Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down / I’m here on my own, don’t bring me down
