Well I couldn't fall asleep again My breath was ash and sour With the echoes of my rising voice That split the ears of a former lover
I'm sorry I brought you down To the place where I've been dwelling But I haven't learned to live Without your spark And I got to somehow live This life I've got
And so you spit me out In a decaying world With but the faintest light to guide me And I find and walk that path I know To be reserved for the slowly dying 'Cause I know how to paint the town And carry on with women But if you think that's what I want Oh, girl, you're wrong. But I guess that's just how I'm livin' Now that you're gone.
So when I called you, you cried again And with each sob I grew bitter And oh I long to hear your sweetest voice It so shakes me I might shatter Are you tryin' to bring me down When I was feeling so much better? Or make me look for your love where it is not? Well I guess I'm finally learning now I guess I'm finally learning how I guess I've learned how to live with the life I've got.
