aspen, colorado on a saturday night
jesse wishes she was at home
upset because her baby just ainĄŻt treatinĄŻ her right
so afraid of being alone
said she heard some stories heĄŻs been runninĄŻ around
said somehow she knows itĄŻs all true
she says a breaking heart can make a terrible sound
she said she donĄŻt know what to do

think about a bad time, canĄŻt get much worse
think about a hard time, take it to the wall
this wonĄŻt be the last time, sure ainĄŻt the first
the bigger they are, the harder they fall

you might say sheĄŻs caught between a rock and a hard place
you might say she just canĄŻt win
some just canĄŻt recover from a slap in the face
some just get right up and start all over again

think about a bad time, canĄŻt get much worse
think about a hard time, take it to the wall
this wonĄŻt be the last time, sure ainĄŻt the first
the bigger they are, the harder they fall

think about a bad time, canĄŻt get much worse
think about a hard time, take it to the wall
this wonĄŻt be the last time, sure ainĄŻt the first
the bigger they are, the harder they fall

aspen, colorado on a saturday night
jesse wishes she was at home
sheĄŻs mad because her baby just ainĄŻt treatinĄŻ her right
so afraid of being alone
so afraid of being alone
nobody wants to be all alone
she donĄŻt want to be all alone
so afraid of being alone
we donĄŻt want to be all alone
