below.drinking

i sit here with an empty glass...trying to erase the past...
always asking why i come in last...
the answer's still the same.

i look at my empty walls...my voice echoing through the hall...
and somehow i'll always fall...
how i hate to play this silly game.

but not knowing what you're doing now...seems to keep me sane somehow
hopefully this is all just the pain

i walk around throughout the night
crying at every memory in sight,
mixed emotions running through my head
how i'd wish for you to be here instead
love and hating you at the same time
i can never seem to get you off my mind,
and the one thing i know i'll never find...
is the love that you took away

my daughter ask for you almost every day...and it's so hard to lie then pray
that she never really finds out the way...
that you left us both behind

i'm glad that you've moved on...for me, i'm just not that strong...
but hell, who knows, i might be wrong...
the answer maybe easier to find...

but not knowing what you're doing now...seems to keep me sane somehow
hopefully this is all just the pain

i walk around throughout the night
crying at every memory in sight,
mixed emotions running through my head
how i'd wish for you to be here instead
love and hating you at the same time
i can never seem to get you off my mind,
and the one thing i know i'll never find...
is the love that you took away

i know that i'll find a way...one day, when i find the words to say...

i used to walk around almost every night,
crying every step even though i'm right...
i no longer doubt the man i am today
now that you've gone and went away
i'm doing better than what i used to be
now that i've found the truest love for me
and the one thing i promised i'd find...
is the love...you took...away.
