I feel so alone tonight

I don’t have the strength to fight 

Three more shots will put me down 

Get my feet up off the ground 

 

Sometimes faith just ain’t enough 

The pain is deep and I need my crutch 

I know that you are lying near 

But even you can’t ease my fears 

​

I’ve been running far too long 

My backs been turned and

my minds been blown 

Now it’s time I face the truth 

Cleanse the demons from my youth 

Cleans the demons from my youth 

​

I don’t want to sleep alone tonight 

But I need that buzz to take me,

to the morning light

Help me now I’m falling,

as the line goes down 

I just hope the sun comes back again, 

​

I’m alone, It’s the same 

You know I can’t sleep 

I want to cuss em'

When they try and tell me sweet dreams 

I remember lying on the bathroom floor 

With my feet against the tub

And my hands against the door 

Praying they would pass out,

Then I could come out 

Drink up all their liquor

And I turn their fucking lights out 

But in the end, you know

I feel I’m gonna drown 

Cause Ive always got this anchor

and its dragging me down     

 

I don’t wanna drown 

Please don’t let me drown 

I don’t wanna drown
