I'm a loser, baby.

Here's a little tune I wrote about five years ago. I was leaving a bad relationship that was all I had at the time, and I had a bass guitar and a lot of time to think about why I would want to continue living or not.
Musically, it's kind of a reference to the Dolly Parton/Emmylou Harris/Alison Krauss style of three-part harmony women songwriters.
Here are the lyrics:
Where do you go from down?
A shitty apartment,
New job, a new town.
My dog and this bass
Are all I would take.
My heart I would leave around.
Where do we go from here?
The fairytale's over
And nothing is clear.
My lover, my friend,
This feels like the end
To everything I hold dear.
CHORUS:
Take me back to the point
Where I wanted nothing else.
Take me back from tonight,
Let me feel like myself.
Take my heart, take my hand,
You don't have to understand.
Hold me close, hold me fast,
Take me back.
How could I do you so wrong?
The act and the lie
Went on for too long.
You've gotta agree,
You'd do better than me,
And the last thing you need is this song.
CHORUS
When is it time to die?
When there's nothing left
But loneliness and time.
It's just enough hell
To live with myself...
Is that why you want me to try?
CHORUS
