lyrics

I ain’t got nothing left but this cigarette
And I’m trying so hard just to forget
But it keeps coming back, back again
Back again

Me and this liquor, we are good friends
When i finish this whiskey, I’ll switch to gin
Lord knows you can’t always, always win
You’ve gotta give on in
To this world of sin

I’m growing weary over nothing
Or nothing is just as it seems
The world is falling down to pieces
Lord knows, you can’t save me, save me
Save me
You can’t save me

Well I’m lonely but I ain’t alone
There is no freedom, you’re only owned
Just by, just by, just by your home
Just by your home

My bed is a box of emptiness
My room, a cube of loneliness
My heart is a hole of blackness
Just trying to forget
Just to forget

I’m growing weary over nothing
Or nothing is just as it seems
The world is falling down to pieces
Lord knows, you can’t be free, be free
Be free
You can’t be free

I once loved a woman, said the same to me
And I gave her my heart, she wanted everything
She up and she left, it was plain to see
It was plain to see

The hair of a dog is my morning meal
The devil himself has done made me a deal
I gave him my soul for something real
For something real

I’m growing weary over nothing
Or nothing is just as it seems
The world is falling down to pieces
Lord knows, you can’t save me, save me
Save me
You can’t save me
