Lyrics

You practice truckin' all day and you truck all night
You practice talking like your friends and you feel alright
Until she steps into the light
She's a sight

She hits about a nine on the Richter scale
You say it's nothing but your knuckles are turning pale
Had your chance
And you failed

How cool can you be with a broken heart
How does a pretty boy feel in the ugly part
How together is a broken man
And how cool is the one that's gonna understand

You used to talk about your lovers like pairs of shoes
You'd wear them out and then you'd leave knowing they've been used
Until she gave you something to lose
You're confused

You call her up and she avoids you like the plague
She's hanging on to mister tall dark and vague
And says the point
Is made

Well how cool can you be with a broken heart
How does a pretty boy feel in the ugly part
How together is a broken man
And how cool is the one that's gonna understand
