[Verse 1]
Write a song 'bout a dog
Write him off on your taxes
Growing up, fall in love
Find something you're attached to
Do whatever it takes
To keep yourself awake
[Chorus]
I don't know what I've been thinking
Don't know why I keep sinking again
I don't know why I've been haunted (Why I've been haunted)
By the things that I wanted to get
Is that why they say nothing buys you happiness?
[Verse 2]
Pick a fight, go and write
Something you'll never like
That's fine, it's alright
You'll get better with time
[Chorus]
I don't know what I've been thinking
Don't know why I keep sinking again
I don't know why I've been haunted (Why I've been haunted)
By the things that I wanted to get
Is that why they say nothing buys you happiness?
[Verse 3]
It's never enough, the things that I've done
They're chasing me down and they're gonna catch up
I tried to tune out all the things that I've done
But the feelings I have now, they're getting real rough
[Chorus]
I don't know what I've been thinking
Don't know why I keep sinking again
I don't know why I've been haunted (Why I've been haunted)
By the things that I wanted to get
Is that why they say nothing buys you happiness?
