Lyrics
Male 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. And the night a brand-new day.
When I got home, I read it. I think I knew what it would say:
Female Chorus:
I can't take your drinking. I can't stand those alibis.
And I just keep on thinking.
This is all a pack of lies.
All I have, are lonely days and nights. And no one here when I turn out the lights.
I know you'll never find. A truer love then mine. And so, I stand committed boy,
I gave you one last time
Male 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.
Male Chorus:
All I have, are lonely days and nights. And no one home when I turn out the lights.
I know that she will never find. A truer love than mine. Hmmm, If I had just one more time. One last time.
