Stronger Than I Am

(album: Stronger Than I Am - 2021)

Bartender, hit me
I need a drink
No none of that good stuff
'Cause I'd hate to think
That that dusty old bottle on the counter aged finer than we did

I might not look familiar
I don't frequent this place
I'm usually good at
Dealing with things
But all my old tricks that I'm used to ain't working the same

So right now I'll try anything

Sometimes I feel stronger than I am
Sometimes I can handle my own
Sometimes my day goes just like I planned
Sometimes I forget that you're gone
Sometimes I pick myself up and I shake the dust off
But tonight I don't feel like I can
That's why I am sitting here
Sipping on something that's stronger than I am

If my dad was here with me
He'd give me advice
Say, "Even the worst things get better with time"
But that clock on the wall hasn't moved, since you told me, "Goodbye"
So I'll let this whiskey kiss me goodnight

Sometimes I feel stronger than I am
Sometimes I can handle my own
Sometimes my day goes just like I planned
Sometimes I forget that you're gone
Sometimes I pick myself up and I shake the dust off
But tonight I don't feel like I can
That's why I am sitting here
Sipping on something that's stronger than I am
Something that's stronger than I am

I've tried taking our pictures off the wall
I've tried working from dusk until dawn
I've tried all of the friends I can call
Oh, but none of it's helping at all

'Cause sometimes I feel stronger than I am
Sometimes I can handle my own
Sometimes my day goes just like I planned
Sometimes I forget that you're gone
Sometimes I pick myself up and I shake the dust off
But tonight I don't feel like I can
That's why I am sitting here
Sipping on something that's stronger than I am
Something that's stronger than I am
