Mishaps

You've taken who you are

And made him so much less

You used to be a man

Now all I see is a mess

It may not be your fault completely

But you should've tried

To make it out alive

How could you let it all slip away?

The age-old question that haunts you everyday

And when you lie awake at night

I hope your tears give you something to fight for

Your life's a ball and chain

You drug it all yourself

You drug your mind to think

Your body's always somewhere else

An empty house and TV screen

Amoungst dirty needles and magazines

Ghostly pictures of your family are all that keep you company

How could you let it all slip away?

The age-old question that haunts you everyday

And when you lie awake at night

I hope your tears give you something to fight for

And when it's said and done

You know time heals everything

But it's a different kind of pain

So put the needle down

And find another way

How could you let it all slip away?

The age-old question that haunts you everyday

And when you lie awake at night

I hope your tears give you something to fight for

You know you let it all slip away

And it's gonna hurt until your dying day (but I know)

But I know the man you are inside

I know that when I see your tears, you won't die

Until you make it right.
