  • You gonna sing me a song?
    Ohh-oh-oh, maybe you should sing a song

    If I had a dollar bill for every time I've been wrong
    I'd be a self-made millionaire and you'd still be gone
    So hand me down my best dress shoes and my best dress shirt
    'Cause I'm going out in style to cover the hurt

    All I want to do all day is spend it in bed
    But that's bad for the body and even worse for my head
    So I'll try and find a place where no one will ask me a thing
    It'll help to forget and help me to sing

    'Cause now I'm drunk again
    The means to my end
    And I'm scared of myself
    'Cause now it's the same
    The faces and names
    And I'm scared of myself again

    Have you ever wanted to wake up from your dreaming?
    It scared you so bad you couldn't control your heart or your breathing
    Well, walk out the door with me on the floor
    You don't care how I'm feeling
    I guess a weak and tired and frightened man is no longer appealing

    'Cause now I'm drunk again
    The means to my end
    And I'm scared of myself
    'Cause now it's the same
    The faces and names
    And I'm scared of myself again

    Some people have a gift of reaching right into your soul
    And finding the hole and making it bigger
    Baby, sometimes I think I catch you crackin' cynical smiles
    And in a short while you'll be my heart's gravedigger

    Well, there's not much I can do
    'Cause I'm at the mercy of you
    So, baby, I guess we're through

    'Cause now I'm drunk again
    The means to my end
    And I'm scared of myself
    'Cause now it's the same
    The faces and names
    And I'm scared of myself

    'Cause now it's the same
    The faces and names
    And I'm scared of myself again

    So go walk out the door
    You don't believe me no more
    And I'm scared of myself again
    Again

    If I had a dollar bill for every time I been wrong
    I'd be a self-made millionaire and I wouldn't be singing Writer/s: Aaron Barrett, Carlos F. Garza, Dan Regan, Matt Wong, Scott Allen Klopfenstein
