When I Finally Let You Down

for my new year's resolution

I'm gonna try something new

gonna keep drinking until I can hardly see

then I'm coming home to you

if I pass out on your stairs

if I shatter your last nerve

will you give me another chance

or will I get all I deserve?

will I get all I deserve

when I finally let you down

when your faith in me is broken

and the devils gather round

when the questions you are asking

start sounding more and more absurd

when I finally let you down

will I get all I deserve

will I get all I deserve

you have got an angel's wings

sometimes that's all I can see

and the things that keep me

walking the line

they become my enemy

yes, it's a mean story

it's getting worse with every word

when I get to the end this time

will I get all I deserve
