Man, what a heck of a year it's been
Keep on bluffin',but I just can't win
Drown my sorrows but they learned to swim
Man, what a heck of a year it's been
Head in a bottle but my heart in a case
It's gettin' harder to act my age
Play a sad song on a tiny violin
For the man at the bar confessin' his sins
I need some good news
Sittin' here sippin' on cold truth
Nobody knows what I'm goin' through
Bet the devil wouldn't walk in my shoes
Wish someone told me
"Livin' this life would be lonely"
Tryna get away from the old me
Still stuck singin' these blues
All I really need is a little good news

Is it lyin' if I add a couple inches to my height?
Say I'm 5'11" when I'm really just 5'9"
Am I tryin' to hard, tell me with these tired pick-up lines
Baby, when you fell form heaven did it hurt or are you fine?
We can say we met at a party
Or at a park or through our friend Charlie
Something we'll probably forget
And then have to make up again
We can say that we met doin' yoga
Or at the coffee shop over Mocha's
Something we'll probably forget
And then have to make up again
Pick me if you need a guy within a hundred miles
Who likes tea, is a Gemini, has family in Ohio
Is free this Friday night and just might make you smile
I know there's other fish in the sea...........
But pick me

On the day that I die
Tell my Mother I was smiling
Cause I know that she'll be crying rivers wide
Tell my friends that it's alright
And say I'm sorry that I never text or called or wrote more letters
Shoulda tried
Let 'em know it ain't goodbye
'Cause every door and every dawn
You know I'm only ever on the other side
So don't cry. Don't cry
On the day that I leave
I hope the memories find you happy
And my Dad ain't too mad at me
To say the least
I pray my sister gets to sleep
I wish I could have said it better
What all those times we spent together meant to me
But don't cry. Don't cry on the day that I die
Oh. ooooh
Just as the sun will rise
And the sun will set
I will love you just from somewhere different
Until you close your eyes
And we meet again
Don't you, don't you cry
On the day that I die I promise that I'll be reliving
Every second. Every minute of you and I
Flashing right before my eyes
Every young and dumb decision
Every blessing I was given oh what a life
So don't cry. Don't cry
No don't cry. Don't cry
On the day that I die
