Bleed

I drove past my second exit sign
I guess I'm more than fine
I'll settle for driving than going home alone

I'll breathe my way to faith
And exhale all them days
Where I was busy settling someone else's score

I'll drink myself to sleep
So I won't have the dreams
It's days like today I hate the most thus far

But It might be beer or whiskey
That's got me feeling risky
Taking my chances at the wheel of this car

I'll take my time getting home tonight
Cause there ain't no one waiting up for me
Who needs sleep with friends like these?
Sometimes it's better to breathe than bleed

I'll be a better me
One day finally
There's more inside I have yet find

I'll place my bet and gamble
On my reckless wild amble
It's something I've grown accustomed to in time

My momma raised her a believer
Just a bit too eager
An independent spirit comes at his own costs

It's not the time or place
To give up on today
So I'll just find my next border to cross

I'll take my time getting home tonight
Cause there ain't no one waiting up for me
Who needs sleep with friends like these?
Sometimes it's better to breathe than bleed

I'll take my time getting home tonight
Cause there ain't no one waiting up for me
Who needs sleep with friends like these?
Sometimes it's better to breathe than bleed
