(music r graber, words s macdonald)
Gonna do myself a favor, quit while I'm behind  
It seems like all this hanging on will only mess up my mind  
And don't have many options at least none I can find  
It always seems so hard to take when what you're weaving unwinds  

Gonna do myself a favor, quit while I'm ahead  
Take some time to lick my wounds and write some music instead  
Take it out of me and purify what's left here in my soul  
Funny how what seems so free can take a very big toll  

Gonna do myself a favor, write it off as lost  
What I have to show from this does not keep up with the cost  
Gonna look around and think about the next step I should take  
Pull it back together the best decision I'll make
