The Next Right Thing
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.
I know there’s ain’t who I am
And you thought you’d never see me again
I got nowhere to go
Cos tonight the bars are all closed
Give me one shot
Just one more chance
You’ve got no reason
To believe me again
I’ve spend so long
Just hating myself
Laying the blame
On somebody else
Time after time
Drink after drink
Telling myself that tomorrow
I’m gonna do the next right thing
I tried to beat this alone
The truth is that I’m not that strong
If I have just one prayer left
Is that you ain’t giving up on me yet
Give me one shot
Just one more chance
You’ve got no reason
To believe me again
I’ve spend so long
Just hating myself
Laying the blame
On somebody else
Time after time
Drink after drink
Telling myself that tomorrow
I’m gonna do the next right thing
I know it’s wrong
To stumble in here
Looking a mess
Living
It’s not hard to tell
I need your help
Oh God
Give me one shot
Just one more chance
You’ve got no reason
To believe me again
I’ve spend so long
Just hating myself
Laying the blame
On somebody else
Time after time
Drink after drink
Telling myself that tomorrow
I’m gonna do the next right thing
