Intro : Am Em

drowning in bourbon..
numbing my pain..
fighting with demons, oh Lord
I just wish that they’d go away..

there’s no light in the day..
don’t know how much more I can take..
oh no, afraid of tomorrow
the end of this bottle ain’t that
far away..

Reff :
I don’t know where I went wrong..
I’ve walked a million miles
and now I’m so far from home..
and I’m begging and pleading
for someone to help me
something won’t let me
lie down where I belong..
there’s no use in carrying on..
oh no, I’m better off alone.. oo ooh..

at the end of my rope..
I’m so close to the edge..
In fear of falling ’cause I know
there’s no one to catch me down there..

so all of these scars..
they say make you a man..
afraid of a feeling that bring back
the demons that’s stuck in my head..

Reff :
I don’t know where I went wrong..
I’ve walked a million miles
and now I’m so far from home..
and I’m begging and pleading
for someone to help me
something won’t let me
lie down where I belong..
there’s no use in carrying on..
oh no, I’m better off alone..
yes I am..
I’m better off alone..
ooh oooh yeeaah..

I know I need you right now
lord just somehow
won’t you come and help this old soul
and I know.. yes I know..
I’m better off alone.. mm hmmm..
I’m better off alone..
