downhill - tom macdonald lyrics

[verse 1]
fingers yellow from the cigarette smoke
heart broke from a girl back home
i dunno, six beers, this fear of growing lonely and old sets in couple shots and it’s gone
bl**dy knuckles and a hole in the wall
scratchy throat from singing love songs at the top of my lungs
awkward and young, caught me bein’ sloppy and drunk, i regret it
still ain’t even close to gettin’ sober yet, the liquor tryna k!ll me grip the bottle like a cobra’s neck
my ship is in a bottle, put the cap over the open end
you locked me out the bedroom
i been sleeping on the sofa bed but that was years ago
your ghost is like my only friend
these days she stays trapped inside my bones and veins
i wonder if i did it all again would it be different?
when you yelled at me to be a better man i wish i listened and i was wrong, now i’m gone, watching from a distance
[pre*chorus]
i been guilty of way too many things
and i’ve been filthy but i always did my best for you
i did my best for you

[chorus]
one shot brings your memory back
one more makes me say your name
three shots and i really relax
one more brings back all the pain
and it’s all downhill from here
and it’s all downhill from here, no no, no, no, no, no

[verse 2]
the tattoos on my face are fading quickly from the sun
i bet you’d love to see me now, you always said that they were dumb
i tried cleaning up my act a bit, you wouldn’t know the half of it
i haven’t been wasted at the flea market for months and that’s a big improvement
i ripped my blue jeans and got some new ones so i didn’t look so slummy at the pub
i think that i’ve matured, i guess i needed to be hurt, i guess i really needed silence so you really could be heard
d*mn, voice raspy, bad habits dug they claws in
burying the skeletons i kept inside the closet
the bourbon and the cigarettes and ativan i’m poppin’ got me calmer than the sea, swallowed keys keep me locked in

[pre*chorus]
i been guilty of way too many things
and i’ve been filthy but i always did my best for you
i did my best for you
[chorus]
one shot brings your memory back
one more makes me say your name
three shots and i really relax
one more brings back all the pain
and it’s all downhill from here
and it’s all downhill from here, no no, no, no, no, no
