Well I can't say enough, cause I'm all choked up. And I drink to escape, and I run from the pain, when all that I want is love.
So, this is what I do: sit here and think all about you. Lament my heart, that wretched thing, that burns and it aches and it stings.
And I'm in and out of love. Don't know just what I'm thinking of. It's true I'm confused, can't negotiate my blues, and the fact I feel connected to you
And I've learned the most beautiful things, that I tend to forget about when I drink. I try to wash it away, but it burns so hot to stay. Oh, what a lovely kind of way.
Well, at least I feel again. I'm breathing out, I'm breathing in. And I miss the warmth of a body next to mine, to be held and to hold all the time.
But I can't complain. Hell, I'd do it all over again. They say it comes at a cost, but it's better loved and lost than left alone and have not.
