Lyrics
Well I don't ever want to love again/if it means that I wont know/where to stand/cause my days they just go on without end/and i cant quite comprehend/
every memory becomes a sin/the bruises she left upon my skin/for every tear i thought id never cry/now is hanging in my eye/
honey and whiskey/I've been drinking/I've been telling my troubles to a glass of champagne/i miss you every evening/with a dull aching pain in the center of my chest/oh to feel your breath upon my breath/and your heart upon my heart/again
well i thought words were all i had to say/someones else's sorrow/takes me away/for every crack i thought id never climb/i left my self behind when you left me/
