lyrics

I need a drink, and some time to think, I said, as I walked into the room.
Watching hockey on the TV, I'm uneasy again
What I need is someone who can treat me better than I treat myself
All I got is a tapeworm, and a broken left arm
How I wish I could sing without my voice cracking
You took me by the hand and told me I'm a sad sad man
You said here's another drink on me and then
I told you what was in my head and you laughed and said it would be okay
I told you I'd been thinking about dying a lot
You told me it don't matter cause I'm beautiful anyway
I don't know if I believe a single word that you say
But even still it feels good to feel some sort of way
I look around at all these people with their heads in their hands
They don't think it makes a difference if they sit or stand
It don't matter much to me but it probably should
I'm not the type to make a scene when I've been drinking
But
Don't
Make me stop
Don't let me go
I don't know if I could make it on my own
But if I have to try then maybe I can say goodbye
I had my drinks and some time to think as I leave the room
Watching hockey on the TV, I'm feeling okay
What I need is a good night's sleep and some tylenol
