All The Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues - Senses Fail

(My father's sins are out tonight)
(My father's sins are out tonight)

I haven't seen him in years
I haven't seen him in years

(My mother's sins are out tonight)
(My mother's sins are out tonight)

I haven't loved her in years
I haven't loved her in years

Let's hear a toast for loneliness (Here's a toast for loneliness)
Sometimes it just makes so much sense (Sometimes it just makes so much sense)
For every night I drink alone (Every night I drink alone)
I'm happier than I could have ever known (I'm happier than I could have ever known)

(My family sins are out tonight)
(My family sins are out tonight)

My skin is on the run
My skin is on the run

(My private sins are out tonight)
(My private sins are out tonight)

My skin is on the run
My skin is on the run

I'm not waiting
I'm not waiting

Let's hear a toast for loneliness (Here's a toast for loneliness)
Sometimes it just makes so much sense (Sometimes it just makes so much sense)
For every night I drink alone (Every night I drink alone)
I'm happier than I could have ever known (I'm happier than I could have ever known)

I'm not waiting
I'm not waiting

I'm betting dreams upon my paper wings
Because flying isn't just for kings
I take the stairs to the very top floor
I paid the super to leave open the door
A perfect sunset is sinking in the sky
I know my body is ready to fly
I start the countdown backwards from ten
When I reach one my family name will end

Falling down as windows pass I start to cry
And curse the day my parents laid
In a bed of hopelessness where love was made
Please mark my grave "Unknown"

Let's hear a toast for loneliness (Here's a toast for loneliness)
Sometimes it just makes so much sense (Sometimes it just makes so much sense)
For every night I drink alone (Every night I drink alone)
I'm happier than I could have ever known (I'm happier than I could have ever known)

Here I lie
Here I lie
