Do I need whiskey to start fueling my complaints 

People love to drink their troubles away 

sometimes I feel that I'd be better off that way 



'Cause maybe then I could sleep at night 

I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light 

This is something that I'll never control 

My nerves will be the death of me, I know 



So here's to living life miserable 

And here's to all the lovely stories that I've told 

Maybe drinking wine will validate my sorrow 

Every man needs a muse and mine could be the bottle 



Maybe then I could sleep at night 

I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light 

This is something that I'll never control 

My nerves will be the death of me, i know 



Finally I could hope for a better day 

No longer holding on to all the things that cloud my mind 

Maybe then the weight of the world wouldn't seem so heavy 

But then again, I'll probably always feel this way 



At least i know I'll never sleep at night 

I'll always lie awake until the morning light 

This is something that I'll never control 

My nerves will be the death of me, I know
