This song is about fighting as long and as hard as you can, but then when its all said and done, knowing that the battle and war is lost. The realizing in the end you hurt the ones you loved the most. This song is an apology for that hurt.

Lyrics

Another Reason to Drink

I don?t know how I got here
But it doesn?t matter now
The straight & narrow path I took
Disappeared somehow
It doesn?t mean I didn?t love you
It doesn?t mean I didn?t try
But the person in the mirror
Staring back at me
Is not someone that I
Ever thought I would be

CHORUS
Now you know that with me
It was all about control
But these demons inside me
They would not let go
Everyday I prayed
For grace & for strength
& every night I found
Another reason to drink

I held it all together
As long as I could
I made it a lot longer
Than the devil thought I would
& I know there are no excuses
& I know it?s all my fault
All my good intentions
Only paved
This road to hell
I?m riding on today

CHORUS

Bridge
I found peace tonight
There are angels at my door
So baby sleep tight
You don?t have to worry
About me anymore

CHORUS

I don?t know how I got here
But it doesn?t matter now
