You can't force a feeling
But you can't fight it either
Seems like all my demons
Have become too familiar
So I go to this party
Force myself to smile
Acting in the moment
Living in denial
You might see me laugh, but I feel like cryin'
I'm running out of gas, but hey, I'm tryin'
CHORUS 1
I can't help the way that I feel
Don't wanna drink, but I probably will
After all, alcohol's better beneath the moon
At this point, I'm just foolin' around
If you wanna leave, you know I'm down
My glass is half full, but it's gonna be empty soon
And at the bottom of every glass
You realize nothing lasts
I don't know why I do this
It'll just end like last time
People acting stupid
America's favorite pastime
So I joke and flirt and all that stuff
A couple conversations
Now I can't stop checking my phone
While the pop music keeps playin'
You might see me laugh a little louder
But I've been faking that for like an hour
REPEAT CHORUS
SOLO(s)
This may be cool to some, but I don't buy it
My friends are acting dumb. They say "Why fight it?
You came here to have fun. Why not try it?"
(so I) Take the bullet from this gun, and I bite it
FINALE CHORUS
I know where I am, but I feel so lost
You're makin' noise, while I carry my cross
Nights like these, I just wanna stare at the moon
At this point, I'm just foolin' around
If you wanna leave, you know I'm down
My glass is half full, but it's gonna be empty soon
And at the bottom of every glass
You can see your reflection...kinda...
