Intro: Verse Strike another match Babe, let’s watch it burn They say the simple truth Is the hardest to learn Trouble has been beside me At each and every turn I guess it’s something here inside me Fairly hard to discern I don’t know who loves me I only know who don’t I don’t know who will I sure as hell know who won’t I can’t see the rainbow I only see the rain It's hard to see the beauty Around so much pain I can’t see the heavens I can only see the sky I’m a half empty kinda guy Verse Everything I wanted Always slowly slipped away Right when I need it most It’s always been this way I still feel like a clown Standing here with the painted tears I finally put that bottle down After all these years So now I'm finally clean But I’m as dirty as I’ve been Where it all went wrong I couldn’t tell you how or when So I’ll just keep on keeping on Hope there'll come a day These shackles will be gone And I’ll be on my way There ain’t no silver lining I’ve searched low and high Yeah I’m a half empty kinda guy Bridge I cannot recall The last time I heard good news I just ramble around Singing these strange sort of blues A gypsy read my cards to me And she let out a yell There was a hangman and a tower and a high priestess jezebel Then death oh death……why oh why I’m a half empty kinda guy Verse Lately something strange Has been happening to me I wake nightly from slumber Filled with fear and anxiety Then I wrestle round for hours With the voices in my head Telling me what I should have done And everything I should have said If I wasn’t laughing… You could bet that I would cry Yeah I’m a half empty kinda guy
