In The Next Life

I'm sorry for the way that I've been lately
And I appreciate you for your patience, I know I'm crazy
At least that's what it feels like, some days I don't feel right
I find comfort in the moonlight, and hide away from the sunrise

One of these days, if my luck runs out
Don't mourn for me 'cause I'll be smiling down
Make sure my sons know that I'm proud
Tell my brother and sister I tried making it out
To the woman I love, you'll always have my heart
Sorry I couldn't find my way out of the dark
Tell my parents I love 'em, and thank you for the start
Tell my friends that we'll all meet again in the next life

(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
In the next life
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
In the next life
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
In the next life
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

Just know I tried, I did the best I could
Some days were bad and some days were good
Tried to savor this love, holding on to this joy
But it always subsides, so there's really no point
So I lay my head wherever I may roam
Somewhere I lost my way and couldn't find my way home

I was drowning in silence, I let nobody know
I just hide it and smile, my feelings I've never shown
Oh baby, I've been trying to keep my head above this water
But I'm feeling like the harder that I struggle, the more that it pulls me under
I'm a lost cause, baby, I don't think I can recover
I'm a menace to myself, I'm afraid of what I'm becoming, yeah
I've been my own worst enemy
But it's alright, yeah, it's alright
'Cause maybe things get better in the next life

(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
In the next life
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
In the next life
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
In the next life
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
