bother you again

it's half past midnight
and the long day is over
and nothing has happened
like the day before
I'd rather be drunk
yet I'm stone cold sober
no matter what I have
I always want more

          I know life is for forgiving
          I know life is family and friends
          give me a reason for living
          and I won't bother you again

all of my dreams
have burned down to smoke and ashes
I try and I try
but it just ain't no good
I'm generally all right
except for all these rough patches
that exist like landmines
all around my neighborhood

          my heart is so cold I'm shivering
          my hope has come to an end
          give me a reason for living
          and I won't bother you again
