Save your breath it's precious There's not much time to waste Baby girl you taste like heaven But I'm stuck outside the gate The chairs in the bar stay full With folks I can't relate to You think it's easy to sober up The process isn't pay-per-view Threw up my guts in the alley Broke the "pen" to make you happy Can never rest when you're in the valley Yet I smile oh so happ-ly One strap left on my shoulder bag It's worn out but got some life left I guess you're right, it's not that bad But it's been a long time since I've felt - anything She keeps bringing me out the gutters But I struggle to say I love her, sometimes My heads above the water, wish she'd pull me under I don't feel like myself, is just an excuse sometimes I know you're sick of the same story But not a thing about me has changed I don't believe in purgatory Just a city kid who wants to break The trees around here haven't grown They just wither like the saints You're (the) only place that I call home I can't tell if you feel the same Trying to be better than I used to be Addiction gets the best of me sometimes You're the only thing I wanna breath But nicotine, caffeine, and everything else got a hold on me She keeps bringing me out the gutters But I struggle to say I love her, sometimes My heads above the water, wish she'd pull me under I don't feel like myself, is just an excuse sometimes I'm not perfect, I keep the flaws undercover If I told you I was perfect I'd be lying I'm a pretty little liar if you let me stutter I'll get better I promise, you know I'm trying
