[Verse 1] {Guitar continues playing Riff 1 twice}
I’m not sober all the time
You bring me down at least you try
Until we see this eye to eye
I don’t want you

[Guitar plays Riff 1]

[Verse 2] {Guitar continues playing Riff 1 twice}
I must be running out of luck
’Cause you’re just not drunk enough to f**k
And now I’ve had it up to here
And I don’t, I don’t want you

Wake up, I’m pounding on the door
I’m not the man I was before
Where the hell are you when I need you
Wake up, I’m pounding on the door
I won’t hurt you anymore
Where the hell are you when I need you

[Guitar plays Riff 1]

[Verse 3] {Guitar continues playing Riff 1 twice}
I’m not angry all the time
You push me down at least you try
Until we see this eye to eye
I don’t want you
