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 is not secure


A boat or bridge is needed to get back to her




I feel like I am 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 to the slack of 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 am 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


I've got to move on before I can 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?




Now I'm struggling, I black out so I can't dream

But I still see you sneaking through my weary head


I summer from a drought of medicine to dull self-doubt

I just wanna drown you out with southern poison

If I had a drink for every !@%& time I think


About your pale skin dressed in pink

Then at least I could sleep

If I had a shot for every !@%& 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…
