Now this song, I kept pretty simple. It's nowhere near perfect.
I mean,Shoot, I'm singing the choruses myself on this one, and I
can't even sing. So I guess this song's a lot like me ... Imperfect.
But this song's also a personal pray to God. Where after years of
wandering lost with a hardened heart, I come before Him,
imperfections and all, asking to feel again.
Lord tell me why, why are these eyes dry?
I wish I could cry, wash this demon from my eye
May I shed tear, for those through the years
Hurt by me so severely
May this stone face embrace grace
About to break I taste
Bitterness of years gone to waste, in haste
My heart's like this bottle by my side
Once the Henny gone all you see is my lifeless eyes
Have you seen my mind? I think I lost it
Have you seen my dignity? My damn drinkin's cost it
As I write the pain's, deep down inside
But Lord tell me why, why are these eyes dry?
Shadows fill my mind, then I
Cannot release emotions inside
Lord Jesus, with a broken voice I
I sing to you
With a broken heart I
I pray to you
Lord let me feel Your love again
Love again
See? I told yall I can't sing. But hey, I had to at least try.
Pour out this liquor as I reminisce
Memories fill my mind of things I'd rather forget
When I reflect, I have to admit
I'd be lyin if I said, I had no regrets
Much disrespect to the opposite sex, I showed
A stone cold blackened heart to her even though
Blessed with the best, a dream to many men
A beautiful model with a beautiful soul
Standin' by my side when money was tight, she
Tears in her eyes every night, as I
Lived a crazy life waitin' for my mind to right
But I'm still livin' lost in this dark life had
]All these chances, took them all for granted
Now I'm all alone, alcoholic barely standin'
As I write I cry, deep down inside
