Tired of This Life
When things went wrong, this is what used to make everything right
I used to enjoy it, but now I’d rather avoid it
I used to love going out drinking every week and meeting girls every night
I’ve had my fun with partying, but now I’m tired of this life
I lost my mind a while ago, but now I’m thinking again
I had my fun, but now I’m tired of strip clubs and drinking games
I’m 27 now; I’m too old to be acting young and immature
I broke some girls hearts, I just hope I never made them feel insecure
A broken childhood made me feel worthless as a man
I’m finally starting to see that I have my own purpose in my hands
I used strippers and alcohol to hide the pain I was feeling inside
Was I incapable of love or was I just unwilling to try?
I can’t tell you how many times I cried alone with a drink in my hand
I’m my own biggest critic, but I still care about what you think of the man
I’m at the point where I’d rather be single than going out to see how many numbers I can get
I need a girl who has more to offer than just what’s underneath her dress
I’m ready to find something real, but I will take my time
I just hope my self-judgement for my mistakes will escape my mind
I used to love going out drinking and partying every night
But I’ve had my fun with that and now I’m tired of that life
