You Had To Be There

I should leave, but I just hang around.
Im still here trying to figure out.
What else I can get away with just something
to keep me interested.
I've seen things, that just couldnt be
was that you, staring at me
smug like always even in my memories
Called your name, no I never wanted things to change
I'll haunt the same ol' places where I'm known
by name
And your to blame
You know I never wanted things to change
but I just cant walk away
Lyrics on napkins should I just write this off
as lame
Its a matter of time before everybody feels the same
just wait till I catch you with that last shot
lined up at the bar
like its all you've got.

Thought I'd go out kickin' and screamin
But I feel much better now that I'm leavin you
My bloodshot eyes tell of all that I've felt
And it aint just the drinkin thats bad for my health
And I just wanna let you know
If you caught me you'd just wanna let me go
Thought of takin my life, so I'm leavin tonight
and if I wanted to fight I'd stay another fuckin night
Thought I'd go out kickin' and screamin
I cant stop smiling now that I'm leavin you
My bloodshot eyes tell of all that I've felt
And it aint just the drinkin thats bad for my health
Theres a devil in each eyelash that your batting
I bet you wish that we would have lasted
A little longer
and for your sake I hope your happy
cause my tolerance is getting stronger
everyday

New Years

I cant get out of bed gray skies are back again
The nights are too damn long and much too cold
Another year goes by just like the one before
Just barely scrapin by nothin makes a difference
And the only thing thats keepin me sane
Is knowin that im not the only one
And all the friends I know will all show up tonight
With hope the future makes up for the past
I know theres no place else that I would rather be
Its hard to break old habits
When that ball drops
we'll all fall two
Smiling cause its
Just another day
So long year wash it all away
with shots of ancient age
hope you find a home in hell
numb is how I plan to stay untill
better days show their face
around here.

Don't Go
02:38

Take this bottle away from me
Before I'm over the line
or just pretend like you don't see
I wont be a problem for you
much longer
I want you to know
I quit breathing hours ago
Though I'm drinkin myself
in the ground
You don't have to go
Tried my hardest to scream and shout
as I grasped at my last breath
I dont even blame you for
walkin out I wont be a problem
for you much longer
I want you to know
I quit breathing hours ago
Though I'm drinkin myself
in the ground
You don't have to go
Wish I had the ability
to beg and plead
please dont leave
feel this life slipping
away from me
And I want you to know
my heart quit beating
hours ago
though I'm drinkin myself
in the ground.
You dont have to go

When spites the only thing we have left in common
Where do we take it from here
When this thing started out nothing could stop us
Now we're both drowning in fear
and I
Wish I was a guy who said all the right things
Wish I had the cash to buy you those nice things
Wish I had a car that you'd like to ride in
I'm just dreamin
Everything I say gets taken the wrong way
And everything I do is just to get in your way
We used to be lovers but now were just enemies
So close your eyes
lay down and sleep dear
and I'll sit in this room
and drink every last beer
It's so exhausting tryin
to make this thing fair
and I
Wish I was a guy who said all the right things
Wish I had the cash to buy you those nice things
Wish I had a car that you'd like to ride in
I'm just dreamin

Tail Lights

My tail lights keep burnin out
I've worked twenty five days straight
and I'm so goddamn tired
That I can't even think
My words come out mispronounced
Backward and scrambled from a
repeat mouth
I don't have much to say I'd probably
Be wrong anyway if I put my money
where my mouth is I'd be fucked both ways
My tail lights keep burnin out
I've worked twenty five days stragiht
I'm so tired that I cant think
and im so tired that i cant think
my tail lights keep burnin out
I've worked twenty days too long
I'm so tired that I can't think
and im too tired to write this song
I've been thinkin about all the reasons
why everybody tries so hard but I don't care
And your so tricky so quick with your corrections
Have you ever stopped and listened to yourself
My tail lights keep burnin out
I've worked twenty five days stragiht
I'm so tired that I cant think
and im so tired that i cant think
my tail lights keep burnin out
I've worked twenty days too long
I'm so tired that I can't think
and im too tired to write this song
Woke up wishin it was night
cans on every side of me
a sign I drank the night away
woke up wishin it was night
lost all track of time
Id rather die that go to work today
stumble out your door, still drunk
from the night before
my tail lights keep burnin out
ive worked twenty days too long
im so tired that I cant think
and im so tired that I cant think
My tail lights keep burnin out
I guess that's just my fate
sleep. wake up. go to work.
drink. Mix with whiskey and repeat
