Take a drink and take a drag
The sun disappears and then comes back
Every moment takes me farthur from the times I used to know
With every breath that you take in forgetfulness begins to win
And my memories are fading faster like the last of winter's snow
Tell me where did we go wrong
Tell me. I thought that we were strong
Another day, another drink
Another empty bottle in the kitchen sink
I thought I knew you a little better
I thought you wanted something more
Another breath, another lie
You look me in the eye and say you're fine
But there's a strange sort of disconnect from the person I knew before
I hate the things it makes you do
I hate the way that it makes me look at you
I hate the lie, I hate the truth
But I'm wanting nothing more
I wish that I could make the change for you
I with that I could make these words ring true
I pray to God that He could help you see
We're never promised tomorrow's warmth
They say times change, I guess they have
But I wish now that we could get them back
The way I feel seems criminal
Like being robbed of those I love
So take that drink but don't forget
That the sun that rose is soon to set
And we blindly hope for tomorrow's light while the moon hangs up above
