Beer makes you weary   But you need something to get along   As you stare at the flatness   From inside your dark home   Well "not me" you whisper   This isn't where it ends   Your hand holds the bottle   Which has become your last lonely friend      I've lost all hope   But there's hope for you   If not just in the possibility   Of a better next day   If not just in the simple fact   There's no other way      You lie on that couch   And try to dream once more   But your only goal is to sleep   Until the news is over   Outside the leaves are all changing   But you drink to forget   Someone you once met   Stands blocking the bright orange sunset      I've lost all hope   But there's hope for you   If not just in the possibility   Of a better next day   If not just in the simple fact   There's no other way      So open up those curtains   And drink up the daylight   Just by the brightness   Of opening your door wide   'Cause things don't get better   But some people do   There's darkness in this life   But the brighter side we also may view    There's darkness in this life   But the brighter side we also may view
