Better Off By The End Of The Year

January came and went It left me empty, cold, and short on the rent February just seemed like it would never end It would be nice to sleep through the night Without a toss or a turn or concern in my sight You're out with Lord knows who, and doing who knows what Without me April came in like a lion and went out like a lamb All this time while i was trying to give less of a damn I gathered all of my ambitions for a run at the fall I should've known better, started out with a crawl Taken the time to face all of my fears Well, I'm hoping I'll be better off by the end of the year In the summer, I was looking for peace A kind of freedom from you usual defeat I'm sure the sunshine helps, but in my mind The clouds were coming in I'm haunted by the ghost of our past I'm longing for my own salvation at last Worth its weight in gold, that dream was bought and sold Without me August came in like a fire, and left me with a brand All this time while I was trying to give less of a damn I gathered all of my ambitions for a run at the fall I should've known better, and started out with a crawl Taken the time to face all of my fears I gathered all of my ambitions for a run at the fall I should've known better, and started out with a crawl Taken the time to face all of my fears Well, I'm hoping I'll be better off by the end of the year
