Winning Streak

The broken glass of a bottle makes a jagged rock bottom
Right now I got two shaky hands, one way to stop it
And I haven’t touched a drop in seven hours, three minutes
Finally sobered up, I really want to quit quitting
Sweating in an old church basement, wishing I was wasted
I never thought I’d say this (“Hello, my name’s Jason”)

I’ve been losin’ myself, I’ve been losin’ my mind
I was standin’ in the rain just trying to stay dry
I was so ashamed, to be in this seat
I met a man who was twenty years clean
He said, “Everybody’s here’s felt the same defeat”
Nobody walks through these doors through a winning streak
Hold on, hold on
Just hold on, hold on

A broken man in the mirror, can’t look at me ‘cause he’s guilty
And I swear for the last couple months, that mother— tried to kill me
By the time I saw it coming, it was done already
It’s hard to run from it when it runs in the family
A problem with a thousand more it’s causing
Man, it’s all exhausting
This is why I walked on (Thank you, all)

I’ve been losin’ myself, I’ve been losin’ my mind
I was standin’ in the rain just trying to stay dry
I was so ashamed, to be in this seat
I met a man who was 20 years clean
He said, “Everybody’s here’s felt the same defeat”
Nobody walks through these doors on a winning streak, yeah
Yeah

I’m tried of being broken
I’m sick of feeling hopeless
Way down here at my lowest
And the end of my rope, and the end of my rope
So what do I do?
So what do I do?
What do I do?

I’ve been losin’ myself, I’ve been losin’ my mind
And I was standin’ in the rain just trying to stay dry
I was so ashamed, to be in this seat
‘Til I met a man who was twenty years clean
He said, “Everybody’s here’s felt the same defeat”
Nobody walks through these doors on a winning streak, hey
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
