The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, I had a lot to say last night, I'm sorry, did I say that to you?
Well, I talk so much shit that I forget who I'm talking to
Cause my mouth is like a sinking boat
I keep throwing words out, hoping I can keep afloat
But the more I try to dry out, the more I get soaked
Then I say I'm not as bad as I seem
But I used to be better, honey, can’t you see?
That you of all people, should know that this ain’t really me
And that’s gonna change how you feel about me, baby, but it won’t change me
Yeah, that’s gonna change how you feel about me, baby, but it won’t change me
Somebody found me on the floor
I must have passed out from the two nights before
If you don’t send my rotten ass to bed I’ll quote God again
Don’t tell me that hell ain’t there
Cause I feel it every morning when I climb the stairs
Tell me why can't I sleep at night? A drink should get me right
And you didn’t mean to be mean
But everything sounds more meaningful when you scream
Well, if you really want to raise your voice to me
That’s gonna change how I feel about you, buddy, but it won’t change me
Well, that’s gonna change how I feel about you, buddy, but it won’t change me
Well, you can write me up as just white trash
But honey I know it don’t take all that much to see that
Well, cause I swear that every hangover is gonna be my last
But it looks like only whiskey’s gonna kick my ass and make me still come back
So, Jesus, guide me with your light
Well, you can enlighten me, man, with everlasting insight
But I’ve had thoughts about you that are gonna keep you up tonight
Being good is killing me inside
Well, I don’t wanna go to bed on time tonight
That’s gonna change who I am, and honey that ain’t right
‘Cause then I’ll say, “It’s not all that bad”
And if I can’t change who I am, I shouldn’t try so goddamn hard
Well, I just keep telling myself, “I guess it ain’t eternity”
Yeah, and that’s gonna change how you feel about me, Jesus, but it won’t change me
Yeah, and that’s gonna change how you feel about me, Jesus, but it won’t change me
Yeah, and that’s gonna change how you feel about me, baby, but it won’t change me
Yeah, that’s gonna change how you feel about me, baby, but it won’t change me
