Problem Child
My glass is half empty
You hand me a smaller cup
Then you resent me when there's not enough
One drop is as dangerous as a vial
We've got a problem
We've got a problem child
I don't gamble like I used to
Got nothing left to spare
You practice deep breathing
But I don't come up for air
I might lose you
With one turn of the dial
Got a problem
Got a problem child
Days pass as the Lord intended
Suffering aside
This can't go on
But we can't say goodbye
I know we used to
But it's been a while
It's a problem
Problem child
Bygones go by
But they're never gone
Need a new way to heal
One that doesn't take so long
One that's not so hard to reconcile
A problem
A problem child
In the streets with ill intention
Running from the law
Filed an extension
For my fundamental flaw
All along they've been keeping a file
For the problem
Problem child
