Without My Dreams Lyrics

I've tried this out one hundred times

Somehow now it still seems wise

So I'm diving in headfirst again

I don't know how

I don't know why

Somehow I know I will be fine

When everything has gone away

And all that that remains

Are the four black bars on this guitar

The hope of heaven in the stars

The memories of everything that's happened to me

All I need is one strong drink

My dog Eve and a count to three

I'll grit my teeth because it still seems that you believe in me

For the thousandth time I'll make the climb

Even if it brings me nowhere

I'll go to sleep without my dreams and I'll stand up to my nightmares

But I won't forget what you've done for me

No I won't forget what you've done for me

So many men stronger than I

Are deep in a grave far past their time

I lost some friends maybe lost my mind

But my lungs still breath

I will not win I won't succeed

Second best is fine for me

I won't lose steam and I won't lose sleep

If you believe in me

For the thousandth time I'll make the climb

Even if it brings me nowhere

I'll go to sleep without my dreams and I'll stand up to my nightmares

But I won't forget what you've done for me

No I won't forget what you've done for me

So say one last try another time

Then pour some beer or pour some wine

We'll celebrate our failings with no sympathy

We may not win

We may not thrive

We may not find some finish line

I don't have all the answers but the next rounds on me
