I've been waking up in fits
Fumbling in the dark
Cfraid that when the lights come on
I won't know where you are
Like all the years since I've got clean have
Just been a sweet drunk dream and
Everything we built was just smoke and steam
I got Nightmares
Feeding on my fear and hope
Telling me right there
Where I was years ago
They say a man can't change
No matter how hard he tries
They say some birds
Just weren't born to fly
Some say it's impossible
To turn hard luck charitable
I say it's a miracle that I've come this far
Cause I've been living, rough and clean
On Lollipops and Gasoline just
Cradling a young man's dream
In an old man's arms
I got Nightmares
Feeding on my fear and hope
Telling me right there
Where I was years ago
They say a man can't change
No matter how hard he tries
They say some birds
Just weren't born to fly
I've been living with this hangover all of these years
Everyone I know is sending me prayers
I've been burning bridges
Cnd grinding gears
I've got plenty of life left in me here
I got Nightmares
Feeding on my fear and hope
Telling me right there
Where I was years ago
They say a man can't change
No matter how hard he tries
They say some birds
Just weren't born to fly
They say a man can't change
No matter how hard he tries
I'm gonna clear my name
I'm gonna break that lie
