My mind doesn't work so well these day   I drink all my waking hours away   If I sit here long enough   maybe I think of something    that'll makes you stay   something tells me not think at all   I sit in the darkness starin at the wall   This lonliness is hell   I search for drinks and things    to make me well   I spend my life staring    through my bloodshot eyes   I'll never know where I belong   With eyes closed fast    I play photographs of you   You stare at me and wonder    how I'm doing   I tell you that I'm fine   That thought echoes through my empty mind   I close my eyes again   With barroom bliss and a strangers kiss   I'm home   Cause noone ever wants to be alone   I doubt that there is a way    I'll ever speak the words    that'll make you stay   my mind doesnt work so well these days
