Some nights  I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights  I call it a draw
Some nights  I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights  I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up  I still see your ghost
Oh Lord  I'm still not sure what I stand for oh

What do I stand for  What do I stand for
Most nights  I don't know anymore
Oh whoa  oh whoa  oh whoa oh oh
Oh whoa  oh whoa  oh whoa oh oh

This is it  boys  this is war what are we waiting for
Why don't we break the rules already

I was never one to believe the hype
Save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked
But here they come again to jack my style

And that's alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just
Who I am  who I am  who I am
Oh  who am I  mmm    mmm

Well  some nights  I wish that this all would end
Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights  I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights  I always win  I always win
But I still wake up  I still see your ghost
Oh Lord  I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
What do I stand for  What do I stand for
Most nights  I don't know
Come on
So this is it  I sold my soul for this
Washed my hands of that for this
I miss my mom and dad for this
Come on
No  When I see stars  when I see
When I see stars  that's all they are
When I hear songs  they sound like this one
So come on
Oh  come on
Oh  come on
Well  that is it guys  that is all
Five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this  I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home
Sorry to leave  mom  I had to go
Who the f**k wants to die alone
All dried up in the desert sun
My heart is breaking for my sister
And the con that she call "love"
When I look into my nephew's eyes
Man  you wouldn't believe
The most amazing things that can come from

Some terrible  lies|nights ahhh

Oh whoa  oh whoa  oh whoa  oh oh

Oh whoa  oh whoa  oh whoa  oh oh

The other night
You wouldn't believe the dream
I just had about you and me
I called you up  but we'd both agree

It's for the best you didn't listen

It's for the best we get our distance oh
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance oh
