Defeater - Hopeless Again lyrics

Dear old friend I'm feeling hopeless again I'm giving in to my vices bottle in hand Dear old friend I think I'm slipping again At the end of my rope with this pain in my head I could use your sage old advice Some word to calm me down I ain't been sleeping much nights With my girl sleeping all over town Short list of my enemies Since days I spent in the trench But he ain't no man, he's a cheat A coward staring down d**h Dear old friend In this letter I'll never send I confess I'd k** them both where they stand Dear old friend You only get what you give At the end of our love this pain is begging [?] my head I could use your sage old advice Some word to calm me down I ain't been sleeping much nights With my girl sleeping all over town Short list of my enemies Since days I spent in the trench But he ain't no man, he's a cheat A coward staring down d**h My old friend, my old friend, my old friend, my old friend I'm feeling hopeless again On the front lines I watched as good men died I left a piece of me in foreign country side And in my own home, I'm a stranger now I was a husband once Lies built on losing ground [x2] My old friend, my old friend, my old friend, my old friend I'm feeling hopeless again [x2]
