Stronger Than I Am

Bartender, hit me, I need a drink
No, none of that good stuff 'cause I'd hate to think
That dusty old bottle on the counter aged finer than we did

I might not look familiar, I don't frequent this place
I'm usually good at dealin' with things
But all my old tricks that I'm used to ain't workin' the same
So right now I'll try anythin'

Sometimes I feel stronger than I am
Sometimes I can handle my own
Sometimes my day goes just like I planned
Sometimes I forget that you're gone
Sometimes I pick myself up, and I shake the dust off
But tonight I don't feel like I can
That's why I'm sittin' here sippin' on somethin' that's stronger than I am

If my dad was here with me, he'd give me advice
Say even the worst things get better with time
But that clock on the wall hasn't moved since you told me goodbye
So I let this whiskey kiss me goodnight

Sometimes I feel stronger than I am
Sometimes I can handle my own
Sometimes my day goes just like I planned
Sometimes I forget that you're gone
Sometimes I pick myself up, and I shake the dust off
But tonight I don't feel like I can
That's why I'm sittin' here sippin' on somethin' that's stronger than I am
Somethin' that's stronger than I am

I've tried takin' the pictures off the wall
I've tried workin' from dusk until dawn
I've tried all of the friends I can call
Oh, but none of it's helpin' at all

Sometimes I feel stronger than I am
Sometimes I can handle my own
Sometimes my day goes just like I planned
Sometimes I forget that you're gone
Sometimes I pick myself up, and I shake the dust off
But tonight I don't feel like I can
That's why I'm sittin' here sippin' on somethin' that's stronger than I am
Somethin' that's stronger than I am
