Pity For A Dime
As a famous man once said, people are strange when you're a stranger. Faces look ugly when you're alone. This next song, I want you to imagine how I felt when I wrote it. I was sitting on a bench just watching people go by, and I started to realize, 'am I alone in this world,' you know what I mean. But you're not alone, just as long as you sell your 'Pity For A Dime.'
- Scott Stapp
Lyrics
An artificial season
Covered by summer rain
Losing all my reason
Cause there's nothing left to blame
Shadows paint the sidewalk
A living picture in a frame
See the sea of people
All their faces look the same
So I sat down for awhile
Forcing a smile
In a state of self-denial
Is it worthwhile
Sell my pity for a dime
Just one dime
Sell my pity for a dime
Just one dime
Plain talk can be the easy way
Signs of losing my faith
So I sat down for awhile
Forcing a smile
In a state of self-denial
Is it worthwhile
Sell my pity for a dime
Just one dime
Sell my pity for a dime
Just one dime
