The Love I'm Given

If I'm not drinkin'
Then I am smokin'
And if I'm not smokin'
Then I'm probably upset, upset
I heard pain is self-inflicted
You choose to accept or resist it
But I'm addicted
Its hard to accept
The love I'm given
When I'm still in debt
To bad decisions, bad decisions
And Karma's taking too damn long
To right all the awful shit
That I've done wrong

Its easy to regret
The things I say when I react with hate
And anger doesn't compensate
For the words I can't seem to relate to
And I keep falling short
So I resort to the same mistakes
I can't find another way
So I'll take the pain

Put me to work
'Til there's sores on my hands
And the legs underneath me
Can no longer bare to stand, to stand
I'll meet your demands
Keep my head in the sand
Do it over and over and over and over and over again
'Til I understand
'Cause if I'm not workin'
The I am drinkin'
And if I'm not drinkin'
Then I'm reachin' for a smoke
What a fucking joke
I promise I'll listen
I just wanna be forgiven
I just wanna be forgiven
So I can finally start livin'

Its easy to regret
The things I say when I react with hate
And anger doesn't compensate
For the words I can't seem to relate to
And I keep falling short
So I resort to the same mistakes
I can't find another way
So I'll take the pain
