Black Letter Day Lyrics

I did all that I should, well all that I could
But will I be clean
I did all that I should, well all that I could
But it isn't me

All my strength is dead and gone

Slept as long I could, as long as I should
To find comfort here
Slept as long I could, as long as I should
But I still have fear

All my strength is dead and gone...

Black letter day
All the fun / joy / strength
...Has gone away

I drank all that I could, much more than I should
In simple despair
I drank all that I could, much more than I should
To find someone there

I hope monday will be a better day
