Irish Handcuffs Lyrics - This Sinking Ship - Smoke Or Fire

We struggle to remember 

We struggle to forget 

No strangers to addiction 

We're just drowning the pain 

Good times with good friends 

Good fights with enemies 

We'll struggle to remember 

But we can't forget 

Every weekend was a party back in those days 

It didn't seem to matter that we were underage 

And the days go by, and the days go by 

And the days go by, and the days go 

Have a shot and wash it down with another drink 

It did more damage at the time than we all could see 

And the days go by, and the days go by 

And the days go by, and the days go 

We struggle with surrender 

We struggle with regret 

No strangers to opinions 

Just tired of the games 

Broke ties with good friends 

Broke bread with enemies 

We'll struggle to remember 

But we can't forget 

Seven days a week on tour, we're out getting pissed 

I need someone to fill me in on the things I missed 

And the weeks go by, and the weeks go by 

And the weeks go by, and the weeks go 

Have a shot and wash it down with another drink 

On the road sometimes it's all that would help you sleep 

And the weeks go by, and the weeks go by 

And the weeks go by, and the weeks go 

Young livers dying slowly 

Through reckless days we've come to accept 

But we're not dead yet 

Young livers dying slowly 

Through reckless days we've come to accept 

When becoming men, remember this 

Some never live, some never die but we're all here tonight 

Not as many folks around anymore to see 

At least at weddings and at funerals we'll share a drink 

And the years go by, and the years go by 

And the years go by, and the years go 

Have a shot and wash it down with another drink 

To tell the truth this shit is starting to make me sick 

And the years go by, and the years go by 

And the years go by, and the years go by
