Staind Lyrics
"Sober [Live Acoustic]"

Every shadow just behind me
Shrouding every step I make
Breaking every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me
Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests
Murder now the path has lost me
Just because the sun has set
Jesus was a fucking whistler
Nothing but the past is done
Jesus was a fucking whistler
Nothing but the past is done
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
Why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave

I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down
Mother Mary was a whisper
Nothing but the past is done
Mother was fucking whisper
Nothing but the past is done
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
Why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over this time
I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
Trust me [x5]
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start things over
Why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over this time
I want what I want [x4]
