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
Well, 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.
