lyrics

I took a walk just to try & get out of my head / it didn't work I thought about you instead / I thought about your new house & how I hope you're never lonely inside / how I hope you sleep sound every night / how I hope you find a love better than mine / then I got to thinking how I should quit drinking & save up some money & start actin like somebody / crack a smile, break a tooth oh its all been the same to me / every now & then I get some blood on my hands but I'm only a man & I'm doing what I can / rise up with the sun & keep hate off my tongue & take time to be young deaf & dumb / scream at the top of my lungs & its barely a whisper / I wish I had my shit together I wish I didn't miss her / winter is coming & I swear this time last year I was only seventeen with a great big world to fear / now I am older there's weight on my shoulders & each year the wind it gets colder / eighteen my brother he laced up his boots / to fight in the desert & I almost went too / but I struggled to find my own reason to pick up that rifle, aim it & shoot / scream at the top of my lungs & its barely a whisper / I wish I had my shit together I wish I didn't miss her / I will stand straight & strong like my father taught me / my mother always asks if I'm breathing okay / well I'm not but who really is these days /

I'll be okay once I find a little mercy //
