La balada

I once thought you could
come to love me
but that wasn't true
and that's just impossible
'cause I'm a loser
a poor bastard
a drunk
with no way out
I can't remember
the nights
when I could fall asleep
now no matter how hard I try
I can't catch a wink
I have to wait until dawn
just to lull myself
and even if I doze off
I can't find rest
and I'm slowly killing myself
I'm running out
of my own guts
From the depths of my heart
I ask God
to give me strength to
kick this habit
'cause I'm a miserable
poor bastard
a drunk
with no way out
and then I regret
what I do
stumbling around drunk
stumbling around drunk
I can't even roll myself a drink.
