Lyrics

I used to get drunk all by myself I wanted to be somebody else And I had a mask inside my mind That I hid behind I'm on the point of no return I crossed a bridge I could not burn And turned down a road that led straight to Just pleasing you If just pleasing you Is the last thing I'll do I'll go to my grave, yeah Nobody's slave Most of the friends I used to know Gave up a long, long time ago I blew through their lives a train off track And never looked back And I made each love a nasty joke Every last chance of vow I broke Been down on my knees surrender to Just pleasing you If just pleasing you Is the last thing I'll do They'll lay me to rest Knowing I've had the best I used to get drunk all by myself Now I've set that old pain up on the shelf And each shining day I'll rise up to Just pleasing you And each shining day I'll rise up to Just pleasing you Just pleasing you Just pleasing you
