Lyrics
Chorus:
I can't take your drinking. I can't stand those alibis.
And all that I keep thinking,
Is this is all a pack of lies.
But all I have, are lonely days and nights. And no one there when I turn out the lights.
I know you will never find. A truer love then mine. And so I stand committed.
I give you one last time
Verse:
Well I know she really meant it. But the demons they were strong.
And I thought I could beat it. Till after work I stopped for one.
Then the minutes turned to hours. Then the night a brand-new day.
When I got home, I read it. I think I knew what it would say:
Chorus:
I can't take your drinking. I can't stand those alibis.
And all that I keep thinking.
Is this is all a pack of lies.
But all I have, are lonely days and nights. And no one there when I turn out the lights.
I know you will never find. A truer love then mine. And so, I stand committed,
I gave you one last time
Verse:
Now I stand here sober. Made a year a day somehow.
What I wouldn't give to hold her. If she could only see me now.
Chorus:
But all I have, are lonely days and nights. And no one there when I turn out the lights.
I know she will never find. A truer love then mine. And so I stand committed.
I gave you one last time.
