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 fault line's not secure
A boat or bridge is needed
To get back to her
I feel like I'm paralyzed
When I look at the extra 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 old weight that
I've got to shed
Before I find happiness
I make mountains out of my worries
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 the slack 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 am slurring every single line
I feel like I'm paralyzed
When I look at the extra space
Left in my bed
(I think about all the things we did)
At least I'm feeling more alive
But I still have some old weight that
I've got to shed
I've got to move on before
I can't find happiness
This isn't fair
Nobody taught me
(How to let go)
Just be here now
And you'll 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?
(I should let go)
Now I'm struggling
I black out so I can't 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 God damn time I think
About your pale skin dressed in pink
Then at least I could sleep
If I had a shot
For every God damn time I thought
About your face and what I 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
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
