  • Uh
    Count me out, still up

    The broken glass of a bottle makes a jagged rock bottom
    Right now, I got two shaky hands, only one way to stop 'em
    And I haven't touched a drop in seven hours, three minutes
    Hardly sobered up, already wanna quit quittin'
    Sweatin' in an old church basement, wishin' I was wasted
    Never thought I'd say this

    "Hello, my name is Jason"

    And I've been losin' myself, I've been losin' my mind
    And I been standin' in the rain just trying to stay dry
    I was so ashamed to be in this seat
    'Til I met a man who was twenty years clean
    He said, "Everybody's here's felt the same defeat"
    Nobody walks through these doors on a winning streak

    Hold on (hold on)
    Hold on (hold on)

    The broken man in the mirror can't look at me 'cause he's guilty
    And I swear that the last couple months, that motherfucker tried to kill me
    By the time I saw it comin', it was done with already
    It's hard to run from it when it runs in the family
    A problem with a thousand more it's causin'
    Damn, this shit's exhaustin'
    This is why I walked in

    "Thanks for letting me share, y'all"

    And I've been losin' myself, I've been losin' my mind
    And I been standin' in the rain just trying to stay dry
    I was so ashamed to be in this seat
    'Til I met a man who was twenty years clean
    He said, "Everybody's here's felt the same defeat"
    Nobody walks through these doors on a winning streak, yeah
    Ooh, yeah
    Yeah-yeah, yeah

    I'm tired of bein' broken
    I'm sick of feelin' hopeless
    Way down here at my lowest
    At the end of my rope, at the end of my rope

    So what do I do?
    So what do I do?
    What do I do?

    And I've been losin' myself, I've been losin' my mind
    And I been standin' in the rain just trying to stay dry
    I was so ashamed to be in this seat
    'Til I met a man who was twenty years clean
    He said, "Everybody's here's felt the same defeat"
    Nobody walks through these doors on a winning streak

    Hold on (hold on)
    Hold on (hold on) Writer/s: Austin Nivarel, Jason Deford, Joe Ragosta, Robert Ragosta
