Well I gave up sleep for liquor
Gave up food for cigarettes
And I gave up on my hopes and dreams
To dwell on my regrets
It gets worse before it gets better
And I'm afraid of whats in store
Cause I'm at my brink and I don't think
I can take this anymore
And my mama says that I should find religion
But the church just never felt like home to me
Seems like everytime I pray for god's assistance
I lose another reason to believe
Well I think I'm going crazy
I think I felt my mind break
And if I ever sleep I hope it'll be
The last time that I wake
But if I gotta keep on living
I refuse to live in fear
Cause I ain't sure where I'm meant for
But I'm damn sure it ain't here
And my mama says that I should find religion
But the church just never felt like home to me
Seems like everytime I pray for god's assistance
I lose another reason to believe
Well I'll fight through for my family
I guess I'll hang around for my friends
Cause I'd hate myself if they ever felt
Any pain I put them in
It can't be this bad forever
It won't always be this tough
Cause once you hit rock bottom there's nothing to stop you
And nowhere to go but up
And my mama says that I should find religion
But the church just never felt like home to me
Seems like everytime I pray for god's assistance
I lose another reason to believe
