I let the yard grow wild I let my dreams be defiled I let myself do the drugs I let the sink fill up I let my own heart down so many times I let my life pass me by I let the alcohol get me drunk Let the failures add up I let the bank account drain I let the world twist my brain I let my family drift apart I let the knife twist my heart I let my grandfather down I let live and I left town I let the ego decide I let my wounds open wide I let my art be a job I let the job steal my soul I let myself believe lies I let myself need control I let the doctors prescribe I let my credit card decline I let the fear run my life I let someone read my mind I let the nights keep me up I let the days drag me down I let the dreams break my heart I let myself stop making art Don't let me get in my own way I hate the way you say my name Of all the ways to lose my mind You're one I give my time If you want to hurt me babe Lay it in, don't hesitate Ain't gonna anything the pain away I let my mind drift, alone all day I drove drunk every night last week The laugh track stops suddenly I hear a silence I don't recognize Is this the sound of how I feel inside? I inhaled your life and died Face down in the bed all night Can't let myself go out like that Riding trauma all the way to death? No, no, no...
