Another night I drink myself to sleep. Don't know what it is, but I know this ain't it. The uppers and downers drag me to the deep. I know I need a change from this everyday **** Through all the smoke and pain, This problems held in the mirror. I see it all with the sweet disdain. Can't help but think of all the times held dearer. When I think of all that has to give, I wonder what it takes to truly live. Should I find myself again; would you think to love me then? Cause if I can't, why should you, and if that's true, what will I do? If it's not, what did I miss? Cause clearly what you wanted wasn't this. As I studied the verse and chorus, it would seem your more into the rhythm. I built my world to include an Us. But it would seem that yours includes a hymn. At 3am, behind a cig and stiff drink, I can't help but wonder what it is that you think. If I work toward my dreams, would I be the man that you think of. After all I've been through, what I want the most really is love. In my mind, that's you, but what do I know that's true? While I'm drunk and alone, I sit by the phone, waiting for a sign that is you. Cause all that I know, says I'm just growing old, and simply put this wont do.
