Staind - Sober Lyrics

There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding every breath I take
Taking every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me
Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests
Murder now the pattern's "must we"
Just because the son has come

Jesus, mustn't f*cking whistle nothing but the past endured (2x)

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
and why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down

Mother Mary mustn't f*cking whisper nothing but the past endured
Mother mustn't f*cking whisper nothing but the past endured

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
And why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over this time

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave

Trust me (5x)

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
And Why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over this time

I want, what I want (4x)
