I got no excuses For all of these goodbyes Call me when it's over 'Cause I'm dying inside Wake me when the shakes are gone And the cold sweats disappear Call me when it's over And myself has reappeared I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why I do it every, every, every time It's only when I'm lonely Sometimes I just wanna cave And I don't wanna fight I try and I try and I try and I try and I try Just hold me, I'm lonely Momma, I'm so sorry, I'm not sober anymore And daddy, please forgive me for the drinks spilled on the floor To the ones who never left me We've been down this road before I'm so sorry, I'm not sober anymore I'm sorry to my future love For the man that left my bed For making love the way I saved for you inside my head And I'm sorry for the fans I lost Who watched me fall again I wanna be a role model But I'm only human I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why I do it every, every, every time It's only when I'm lonely Sometimes I just wanna cave And I don't wanna fight I try and I try and I try and I try and I try Just hold me, I'm lonely Momma, I'm so sorry I'm not sober anymore And daddy, please forgive me for the drinks spilled on the floor To the ones who never left me We've been down this road before I'm so sorry, I'm not sober anymore I'm not sober anymore I'm sorry that I'm here again I promise I'll get help It wasn't my intention I'm sorry to myself
