• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

Kris Kristofferson said that this song was “the story of my life. Don’t change a thing, just leave it as stark and naked as it is.” It’s always good to get encouragement from a legend.

Who’s that crying’ all night long?
Who’s that singin’ that same old heartbreak song?
Who’s that bitin’ his lips until they bleed?
It really ain’t no secret, it’s just me.

Who’s that melancholy fool?
Who’s that singin’ that we’re all born to loose?
Who’s that stealin’ through the empty midnight streets?
It really ain’t no secret, it’s just me.

It’s just me alone and lookin’ for something I’ve never found,
A reason to keep breathin’, or to lay my burden down
It’s just me alone and suffering, too scared to live or die
A man too proud to ask for help,
or bow his head and cry.


Who’s that starin’ at the wall?
Who’s that sayin’ that hate will conquer all?
Who’s that watchin’ his life fade by degrees?
It really ain’t no secret, it’s just me.
