Well I can't recall one time in my life
I've felt as lonely as I do tonight
I feel like I could lay down and get up no more
Its the damnedest feeling I never felt before
Tonight I feel like an old violin
Soon to be put away and never played again
Don't ask me why I feel like this hell I can't say
I only wish this feeling would just go away
I guess its 'cause the truth is the hardest thing I ever faced
Cause you can't change the truth in the slightest way I tried
So I asked myself I said John where do you go from here
Then like a damn fool I turned around and looked in the mirror
And there I saw an old violin
Soon to be put away and never played again
So one more time just to be sure
I said John where in the hell do you go from here
And you know there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference
When I looked in the mirror that’s when I knew
That there I was seeing an old violin
Soon to be put away and never played again
And just like that it hit me
That old violin and I were just alike
We'd give our all to music
And soon we'll give our lives
