Some Nights

Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
 Some nights I call it a draw
 Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
 Some nights I wish they'd just fall off
 But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
 Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
 What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
 Most nights I don't know anymore
 ♪
 This is it, boys, this is war, what are we waiting for?
 Why don't we break the rules already?
 I was never one to believe the hype, save that for the black and white
 I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style
 That's alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight
 She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
 Oh, who am I?
 Well, some nights I wish that this all would end
 'Cause I could use some friends for a change
 And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
 Some nights I always win, I always win
 But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
 Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
 What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
 Most nights I don't know (So come on)
 So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
 Washed my hands for this?
 I miss my mom and dad for this?
 No
 When I see stars, that's all they are
 When I hear songs, they sound like this one
 ♪
 So come on
 So come on
 Well, that is it guys, that is all, five minutes in and I'm bored again
 Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
 This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
 Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
 My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"
 But when I look into my nephew's eyes
 Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from
 Some terrible lies
 ♪
 Some terrible lies
 ♪
 Let's go
 The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
 I called you up, but we'd both agree (We'd both agree)
 It's for the best, you didn't listen
 It's for the best we get our distance
