Blues Traveler | Lyrics | But Anyway

I lied and told her I loved her
She didn't care but anyway
I told her we'd still be friends
And she didn't care but anyway

I tried last week for to call her
She wasn't home but anyway
I think I'll spend my life alone
I really don't care right now but anyway

It's a state of affairs and a state of emotions
The kind of thing that you must understand
I tell you one thing, you tell me another
We walk away, maybe then shake hands

I'm quitting cigarette smoking
It's bad for me but anyway
I don't think the TV was joking
When it told me this but anyway

The newsman said not to sit on strange toilet seats
It's my life he's trying to save but anyway
I found out that I've got eye cancer
Too many television waves but anyway

It's a state of affairs and a state of emotions
The kind of thing that you must understand
I tell you one thing, you tell me another
We walk away, maybe then shake hands

Some day an answer will find us
Quite a long shot but anyway
I think the past, the past is behind us
Be real confusing if not but anyway

I put all my hope in tomorrow
It's gonna be great, I can tell but anyway
I see a new, a new day a dawning
I like to sleep late, oh well, but anyway

It's a state of affairs and a state of emotions
The kind of thing that you must understand
I tell you one thing, you tell me another
We walk away, maybe then shake hands
