    Story Behind the Song
    I wrote this song about fifteen years ago and it has been a staple in my repetoire in every band I've been in since. It was recorded with John McKnight on amazing drums and I overdubbed everything else.

    Lyrics
    I can't sleep at night
    I can't lie awake all day
    I can't sleep at night
    I can't lie awake all day
    I had the world on a string
    And then I threw it all away

    I had everything I wanted
    And then I wanted a change
    I had everything I wanted
    And then I wanted a change
    It didn't mean too much
    So I threw it all away

    I threw it all away
    I threw it all away
    I didn't give it much thought
    Felt like time for a change
    Nobody said "Please stay"
    And it's a terrible shame
    When you can't work it out
    You just throw it all away

    Don't look back
    Don't look back
    Over your shoulder at memories that you had
    Don't look back
    Don't look back
    I't gone and there's no future in the past

    It's nobody's fault
    There's no one to blame
    It's nobody's fault
    Yeah there's no one to blame
    When you can't work it out
    You just throw it all away

    Chorus
