Lyrics

Thought I was a decent guy
but I guess I change my mind
I'm never letting myself drink again

Try to kill the inhibitions
but then the brain don't listen
and the heart gets arrogant
and you get

Here I go again
almost 9 AM
Reading back a message that I never would have sent
If I stayed sober
Game Over
Guess I'll never hear from her again
Man I've gotta grow up
Sickened by the damage that I've done

"Why you gotta try so hard
to fit in wherever you are"
I bet that's what Dad would say

Mix a bit of introverted
with the midnight oil I'm burning
and too many hours at the tailgate
and you get

Here I go again
almost 9 AM
Reading back a message that I never would have sent
If I stayed sober
Game Over
Guess I'll never hear from her again
Man I've gotta grow up
Sickened by the damage that I've done

I don't have the courage
I don't have the nerve
The booze isn't working
It's making it worse
It's hard for me to understand
how I get myself so out of hand
damn

11:17
I can barely breathe
Picturing her face
The moment that she reads
what I sent over
unsober
Praying for a little sympathy
Maybe she cracks up
says "oh boy, somebody was drunk"

You're better than this
You're better than all the stupid things you said
You're better than this
But she'll never know
You're better than this
