God only knows I try
To keep my head above the water
But sometimes, things get the best of me and I can't 
breathe
So I look a little closer and I find
There's nothing left of what I used to call my mind

‘Don't you blow it, you could be king and you know it'
Just remember the words, you know this

Down and out
All that's left to lose you, I know
I can't escape while I'm awake
This bitter taste of something fake
I will get the best of me

I've got a song and a melody
A girl down by the English sea
Though sometimes she goes away
I made sure I found the time
Just a little time away and I'll be fine
There's no doubt in her precious mind

‘Don't you blow it, you could be king and you know it'
Just remember the words, you know this

Down and out
All that's left to lose you, I know
I can't escape while I'm awake
This bitter taste of something fake
I will get the best of me

Let these words guide you home
