Weakness

Album: All American Made (2017)

  • Sometimes I'm Virginia Woolf, sometimes I'm James Dean
    Sometimes I'm my only friend, and my own worst enemy

    But heaven knows what the next one's gonna do
    But I never meant to cause the harm that I have done to you

    Sometimes I drink beaujolais, sometimes I drink gin
    Sometimes whiskey does me right, sometimes it does me in
    But you've seen all my darkest shades, everything I've been
    Still I can't hurt myself much more than anyone else can

    I'm worried for no reason
    I'm worried and I'm blue
    There's no better cure for it
    Than being next to you
    I can't hide what I am, guess it's plain to see
    Sometimes my weakness is stronger than me
    Sometimes my weakness is stronger than me

    Sometimes I live in a penthouse, sometimes I live in a shack
    Sometimes I fall off the wagon like a train runnin' off the track
    But I reckon that I'll jump back on it, get the Smokey off my back
    'Fore I wind up back in prison and give myself another heart attack

    I'm worried for no reason
    I'm worried and I'm blue
    There's no better cure for it
    Than being next to you, oh
    I can't hide what I am, guess it's plain to see
    Sometimes my weakness is stronger than me
    Sometimes my weakness is stronger than me Writer/s: Margo Price
