Tell Her What I Said

And I look so much older
Most times the pills take away all my dreams
And there's so much I never told her
Her eyes are so pretty
They can't even see
That it's more than I am used to
But lately it all weighs so heavy on me
So I do what I have to

The little that's left of me
Gets on alright
I am too sick and tired
To put up a fight
I turn to oblivion night after night
I wait right here
Smoking and drinking and smoking and dropping

When the mind is forsaken
The body's abandoned and the spirit turns black
If I never awakened
At least then I'll have all the answers I lack
You're the last one I'll turn to
And someday I promise
That I'll get you back
And I'll do what I have to

The little that's left of me
Gets on alright
I am too sick and tired
To put up a fight
I turn to oblivion night after night
I wait right here
Smoking and drinking and smoking and dropping

We all thought we'd be someone
When a man's promise means nothing
Against the will of his god
You can't serve two masters
No matter the cost

We all thought we were someone
Will you take redemption
Or watch me fall down from grace
I've seen all seven devils
And I am not affraid

We all thought we were somewhere
We all thought we'd be someone
