Long Year

You know it's been a rough year. Sometimes I want to stop and shout it.

Poor myself a stiff drink, I don't want to think about it.

Good times come and go, so today I'll have to live without it.

They say something's coming soon. They already know that deep down I doubt it.

Give me a break

I made my mistakes...

I've already served my time.

Here for today

Drifting away...

Why can't I leave the past behind.

You know it's been a tough year.
Sometimes I wish that this was easy.

Good times come and go. Until she has to up and leave me.

Wishing for felicity. But she will never come and see me.

Looking at a photograph, I can't believe that used to be me.

Cut me some slack

I'm flat on my back...

I'm not good, but I'm just fine.

Live for the now

Wondering how...

I always seem to lose what's mine.

You know it's been a long year.
Enough to drive a man insane.

Good times came and left.
And I'm the only one who missed the train.

Never counted blessings.
Sunshine comes with acid rain.

Always second guessing.
When I have nothing else to gain.

Give me some space.

I need to erase...

The thoughts colliding in my mind.

Unmasking the face.

Still out of place...

I'm not good but I'm just fine.

You know it's been a long year.
Sometimes I want to stop and shout it.
