The smell of instant coffee
Reminds me of the days when I
Had other plans, other prospects
Other ways of getting by
Before this useless ink was drilled in, My tired skin
There was life
Behind my eyes
See I'd of been a teacher
Changed peoples lives including mine
I could have moved out years ago
And not be drowning in this wine
Forgetting how to swim
And everyday I lose
Cus' I'm still treading this water
I've been turning into booze
Whiskey on my tongue
Blood on my hands
It's only a matter of time
Before I see you fall into another man's arms
So why should I come home tonight?
Why should I come home tonight?

I'm sick of risking my health
On these three hundred day weekends
Days of useless excuses
Oh I'm hungover again
Life stopped answering my calls
And I'm getting friendlier with death
He said he'd trade me a bottle for what little soul I have left
And I said yes
How else am I gonna' spend my time?
I could kid myself I'm healing
Tell my friends I'm doing fine
I could ask the lord for forgiveness
But me and him don't get on well, Besides I doubt he could hear me
From down here in my own hell

Whiskey on my tongue
Blood on my hands
It's only a matter of time
Before I see you fall to another mans arms
So why should I come home tonight?
Why should I come home tonight?
It's like you got it all figured out
And the words just get stuck in my mouth
All the faces are changing
And I'm left alone once again
My friend, give me something to believe in

Oh with whiskey on my tongue
Blood on my hands
It's only a matter of time
Before I see you fall into another mans arms
So why should I come home tonight?
Oh why should I come home tonight?
Yeah, why should I come home tonight?
Come home tonight
