lyrics

A patchwork sky on a winter's evening
ice is forming suns receding
It's cold and lonely here inside my life
Everywhere I go touble finds me
Every way I turn it reminds me of
Of the time before you left me here to die

I take a little walk to stop from thinking about you but it sinks in that you're gone
And there's nothing I can do
So one more swig of this cheap ass whiskey
Another cigarette knowing you won't kiss me
The pain won't go away I'm so lost it's true

Chorus

Maybe one day I'll get off the bottle
Maybe today or I'll start tomorrow
Maybe I don't have to lose
Maybe I'm sick of perpetual sorrow
Ok that's it, it's gonna be hard though
But here it is and I don't know what to choose
Stuck here between lonesome and you

Everyday the Dawn breaks a little faster
I don't sleep I'm a walking disaster
Leaving a trail of empty bottles and lies
I keep on saying just wait for the springtime
I'll dry out everything's gonna be fine
I know that ain't true deep inside my mind

A lifetime of weekness has led me here
An emotional cripple dwelling in fear
Drinking till sunrise just to see it shine
If I knew it would bring you back I get sober
But there's a big neon sign flashing it's over
And I keep on bingeing I'm a sucker for self abuse
