I Think I've Found a Way to Live

I never thought I'd ever conquer my weakness
'Cause everybody knows that my weakness is you

But the answer came this morning
Ad you should be the first to hear
What a simple little thing I have to do.

I think I've found a way to live without you
I think I've found a way I can get by
I think I've found a way I can be happy, almost
And all I have to do is die.

I know everybody wonders
Why drinking doesn't kill me
And I myself at times have wondered why
But drinking never gave me anything near
That I needed or the nerve it took
For me to say goodbye.

I think I've found a way to live without you
I think I've found a way I can get by
I think I've found a way I can be happy, aw
And all I have to do is die.

I think I've found a way to live without you
And all I have to do is die...
