Sober

It's my last bottle, need to stay a little longer
It's not so bad, takes away the black, when I won't see any farther
You might understand me, I'll never understand you
Pained in your heartaches, a place you would run from if you only knew

I'll drive all night, for you to stop shaking
Inside my head, wish it was me instead, want your heart to stop breaking
I'll question it, and you'll ask what for
Why you can't God'am cry anymore

No one around
Free you from ghosts that tide
I'll be there I promise
A familiar reflection in your eyes

Shadowed lights, on those empty streets
When you can't hold the pain, with broken chains, you'll only see
Faded rules, and empty grace
Doesn't change, you're still that angel and your beautiful face

It's my last drink, at a place where I'll stay
Forever, this movie plays, where your by my side today
And when stars get low, only one thing you need to know
I'll hold your hallowed smile, wherever I might go

No one around
When your hands are tied
I'll be there I swear
Never once stopped hearing your cries

Look up again, can you take my hand
There's somewhere we have to go
Don't be afraid, you're still the same
Just let me take you home
