Mmm… ahhh… (I’m sick of myself… sick of this life…) [Verse 1] Another night, another drink, another drag to breathe I tell myself it’s nothing, but it cuts so deep My body breaks, but my mind holds on The rhythm in my veins keeps pulling me along [Pre-Chorus] Every time I fall, I swear it’s the last But tomorrow comes, and I slip back fast The cure’s the poison, the cycle spins I can’t change the way it has always been… [Chorus ] I’m sick all the time, but it keeps me alive The pain reminds me that I can survive I regret it each night, then I do it again Can’t change the way it has always been I’m sick all the time, but I need the escape It’s the only thing that keeps me safe I regret it each night, then I do it again Can’t change the way it has always been [Verse 2 ] The fever burns, my hands shake cold The mirror shows a story I can’t control I chase the high, though I know the cost Every moment gained, another piece is lost [Pre-Chorus] Every time I fall, I swear it’s the last But tomorrow comes, and I slip back fast The cure’s the poison, the cycle spins I can’t change the way it has always been… [Chorus ] I’m sick all the time, but it keeps me alive The pain reminds me that I can survive I regret it each night, then I do it again Can’t change the way it has always been I’m sick all the time, but I need the escape It’s the only thing that keeps me safe I regret it each night, then I do it again Can’t change the way it has always been [Bridge] I can’t change… I can’t change… (Gospel-like oohs and aahs, rising) The way it has always been… [Final Chorus] I’m sick all the time, but it keeps me alive The pain reminds me that I can survive I regret it each night, then I do it again Can’t change the way it has always been I’m sick all the time, but I need the escape It’s the only thing that keeps me safe I regret it each night, then I do it again Can’t change the way it has always been [Outro] Can’t change the way… Always been… always been…
