It’s half past midnight
And I’m starting to sweat
The alcohol permeates my consciousness
You start to say something
And you stop and you cry
I hold you tight
It’ll be our last time
Now I know when I’m sober
I can be the man you want me to be
The problem is I never get there
Ain’t nobody as established as me
Now I know it’s hard when I’m not around
And you’re facing all the demons
That have gotten you down
I inhale and I exhale
Just facing all the problems of today
It’s noon on a Tuesday
And you’re nowhere in sight
What happened to forever?
It crashed on that night
It’s been two weeks
Since I last used
My hands are shaking
And my heart is pounding so loud
Now I know when I’m sober
I can be the man you want me to be
The problem is I never get there
Ain’t nobody as established as me
I know it’s hard when I’m not around
And you’re facing all the demons
That have gotten you down
I inhale and I exhale
Just facing all the problems of that day
It’s alright, yeah it’s okay
The problems that I’m facing here today
They’ll be there when I wake up
Just give them a moment
They’ll be lost in an evening
The bottle’s not worth it
I’ve lost all my feeling
Now I know when I’m sober
I can be the man you want me to be
The problem is I never get there
Ain’t nobody as established as me
I know it’s hard when you’re not around
And I’m facing all the demons
That have gotten me down
I inhale and I exhale
Just facing all the problems of that day
