Lately I've Let Things Slide

With a growing sense of dread
 And a hammer in my head
 Fully clothed upon the bed
 I wake up to the world that lately, I've been living in
 ♪
 There's a cut upon my brow
 Must have banged myself somehow
 But I can't remember now
 And the front door's open wide
 Lately, I've let things slide
 
 I go to the bin, I throw the laundry in
 And pick out the cleanest shirt
 Then I tell myself again, I don't really hurt
 Smoking I once quit
 Now I got one lit, I just fell back into it
 Along with my pride
 Lately, I've let things slide
 ♪
 I go to the bin, I throw the laundry in
 Dig out the cleanest shirt
 When all at once, I'm seized again by exquisite hurt
 
 That untouched takeaway
 I brought home the other day
 Has quite a lot to say
 The evidence is clear, only resign, piled high and wide
 About how lately, I've let things slide
 I'm just about holding on
 But lately, I've let things slide
