I just drove under the Lincoln sign
To where New Jersey meets the New York line
And through the tunnel for the last time
With everything crumbling behind
I stood still until I felt the shakes
Of two bodies that were parting ways
I didn't want to be the one to say
I know this hurts but it's time to break
In two pieces
The boat line's not secure
I'll burn a bridge if needed
To get back to her
I feel like I'm paralyzed
When I look at
The absent space left in my bed
And think about all the things we did
At least I'm feeling more alive
But I still have some of my pain I've got to shed
Before I find happiness

I make moats out of memories
And I plant pain Instead of sturdy trees
I have got to wash these old sheets
So I can fall asleep
There are times, there are times I reach for the phone
To tell you that there might still be some hope
Holding on, holding on to this slack of rope
But that's the whiskey talking so
I hope that you can find some peace in life
Can you survive without me?
Cause I thought I'd be fine
Now I'm slurring every single line
I feel like I'm paralyzed
When I look at
The absent space left in my bed
And think about all the things we did
At least I'm feeling more alive
But I still have some of my pain I've got to shed

I've got to move on before I can find happiness
This isn't fair nobody taught me (how to let go)
Just be here now and don't be set free (From sorrow)
But at this time I don't see clearly (how will I know)
What is the point, what is the meaning (how to let go)
Now is our goodbye
A blackout so I can dream
But I still see you sneaking through my weary head
I suffer from a drought of medicine to dull self-doubt
I just want to drown you out
With southern poison
If I had a drink
For every goddamn I think
About your pale skin dressed in pink
Then at least I could sleep
If I had a shot
For every goddamn time I thought
About your face and what I'd lost
At least I'd get some sleep, sleep, sleep
At least I'd get some sleep, sleep, sleep
Then at least I'd get some sleep
