Last night I drank enough to drown
and I know you will never come back around
so I drink, lost in the memory
of you and me
knowing how much our love seems to hurt
knowing that no one is to blame
knowing pain always follows love
and thats something we just can’t avert
I twist each lost thought into nonsense sentences
struggling for the right words say
but words just lose their meaning
when you feel this empty inside
and I find myself lying naked on the floor
reaching for your old bathrobe
you left hanging on the bathroom door
shivering hands shaking, feeling the cold of an open window
the rain is pouring down hard and I shiver where I stand
Each drop that falls I feel echoing in my heart
and I see your face staring at my window
with a wet suitcase in your hand
