Do I have nothing good left to say
Do I need whiskey to start fueling my complaints
People love to drink their troubles away

Sometimes I feel that I'd be better off that way

Cause maybe then I could sleep at night

I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light
This is something that I'll never control
My nerves will be the death of me, I know


So here's to living life miserable
And here's to all the lovely stories that I've told

Maybe drinking wine will validate my sorrow
Every man needs a muse and mine could be the bottle


Maybe then I could sleep at night
I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light
This is something that I'll never control

My nerves will be the death of me, I know

Finally I could hope for a better day

No longer holding on to all the things that cloud my mind
Maybe then the weight of the world wouldn't seem so heavy
But then again, I'll probably always feel this way


At least I know I'll never sleep at night
I'll always lie awake until the morning light

This is something that I'll never control
My nerves will be the death of me, I know
