I don't mean to let you down I just want to drink some booze Sing another lonely tune Check another night off my list I don't mean to ruin your day Talking about all my pain And a past that's got me everyday Just trying not to hate Everything in this world I don't need your sympathy And I don't need your cigarettes I want to take the deepest breaths Let it all sink in I don't want to trade my love I just want to buy some time Until maybe I can write a few more lines Maybe find out where I stand this time With everything in this world
