If I had a little relief from this grief

I've got a tear hanging over my beer that I can't let go
It's too bad
I feel sad
when I got all my life behind me.
If I had a little relief
from this grief
then
I could find a drowning straw to hold on to.
It's great to be alive.
They say I'm lucky to be alive
It's hard to figure out
when everything I feel
hurts.
