How Could I Ever

Where do I begin? There ain't nothing in this world to help me win I keep pushing, but nothing's moving And I can hear the devil calling out my name It gets harder when I ain't sober That's why I'm drinking every day until it's over And my thoughts run wild inside my head But I push 'em to the side to breathe instead And how could I ever Turn these broken dreams into something real? Please tell me How could I ever Make my momma proud so I don't have to tell her that I tried? Oh, I tried I tried to help myself but I fell short When the sun goes down No use in fighting All these demons in my mind come uninvited And people will say they love you Till their needs are met they'll stab you then deceive you I feel used and almost empty Yeah, I'm working on my life But earning pennies And how could I ever Turn these broken dreams into something real? Please tell me How could I ever Make my momma proud so I don't have to tell her that I tried? Oh, I tried I tried to help myself but I fell short
