I let the stress take all my wind I let the darkest demons in I should have known these aching pains lay deep inside But in my weakness, I let the spool of yarn unwind And now I take the bitter pill, making a mess of what I've spilt (Baby, what a mess) And it's a tragedy to let it spiral down and down You were the last person I'd ever want to drown (And now I know the consequence) At my low, I let the drinking take full control In my head, this is the worst thing that I've ever ever done Stuck in a place we only wade Watching my world crash down in spades And If I could ever try to quantify the reasons why It might still never ease that hurt So take my pain for what it's worth I know I've dragged my name beyond the dirt And repeat apologies won't heal your damaged heart I'm sure It's not my best, but it's a start At my low, I let the drinking take full control In my head, this is the worst thing that I've ever ever done At my low, I let the drinking take full control In my head, this is the worst thing that I've ever ever done You keep me from falling down, you make me a fool I'm a fool for you A filthy error, I'm hungover, but glad it's over
