I've been making something out of nothing for a long time now.
And, you might say I'm bluffing but I'm gonna make it work somehow.
If you think they've got me on the ropes,
Well, don't you blink, honey here I go.
I've been hoping lately that I'm dreaming and I'll wake up soon.
And looking all around me just for one thing I can call the truth.
But if you see me, heading for the door,
Well, count to three, I'm coming back for more.
chorus
It's not time, I'm not tired. I've got everything I need to get me through the night.
Let it burn, let it bleed. You don't need to try so hard, to make me feel alright.
Go on leave, go on home, It's not your fight.
I've made my mistakes, you know I've paid a lot to feel this bad.
It's a thousand dollar hangover, it ain't even the worst I've had.
But if you think, I'm sitting out this dance,
Pour me one more drink, 'cause I've still got a ghost of a chance.
chorus
Might not be right but I'm sure, I might be a fool but I ain't a kid no more.
And I've lost it all before, I'm no stranger to the bar room floor.
When I'm down for the count, there's a voice I can't ignore.
