Lyrics

I could barely catch my breath when i saw you out tonight
Didn't know what to say so I said I was doing fine
you turned and walk away, I turned and faced the bar
ordered myself a double, let the whiskey heal the scar

Truth is I never hurt so bad
Truth is I'm drinking every day
Truth is I can't get to sleep
keep running through a plan
to make you wanna try
Truth is I wanna lie in the dark light a spark with you. Make a wish blow it out have your dreams comes true. Better than it's ever been. Waking up more than friends. Honey do you want that too?

I wish your diamond ring wasn't somewhere in a drawer
I'd do anything to make it anything like before
can we just pretend that nothing ever changed
we're still you and me, same home, same bed, same name

Truth is I never hurt so bad
Truth is I'm drinking every day
Truth is I can't get to sleep
keep running through a plan
to make you wanna try
Truth is I wanna lie in the dark light a spark with you. Make a wish blow it out have your dreams comes true. Better than it's ever been. Waking up more than friends. Honey do you want that too?

I miss coffee in the morning
watching TV on the couch
I miss Sunday grocery shopping
Friday nights cooking out
I didn't mean to hurt you
Didn't mean to make you cry
I'll take any thing you throw my way
Baby I'll take a lie (to Chorus)

(Outro)
Let's try again -- forgive the past
take a drive, -- take a chance
talk it out-- make a plan
Baby do you give a damn?
I wanna lie I wanna a lie I wanna lie
