Leave This Bed
Whiskey bottle by my bedside
And a half smoked cigarette
Can't remember much of last night
Only drinking to forget
That my arms are always empty
And I need someone to hold
That the sands of time keep falling
And I'm afraid I'll die alone
If time heals all wounds
But I don't have much left
Tell me why would I ever leave this bed
Like a child I'm afraid
So I stay where it's safe
I can't lose any race I don't run
All the games my mind plays
Keeps me far far away
From the place I'd rather be
Where I am free
Another dash on the headboard
Another day in this bed
A lonely lifetime of questions
Still swimming in my head
If I need someone to love me
Why do I hide away
Am I the only ghost that haunts me
Am I my own worst enemy
If time heals all wounds
But I don't have much left
Tell me why would I
Ever leave this bed
Like a child I'm afraid
So I stay where it's safe
I can't lose any race I don't run
All the games my mind plays
Keeps me far far away
From the place I'd rather be
Where I am free
Guess I'll pour another whiskey
And light up a cigarette
And a half smoked cigarette
Can't remember much of last night
Only drinking to forget
That my arms are always empty
And I need someone to hold
That the sands of time keep falling
And I'm afraid I'll die alone
If time heals all wounds
But I don't have much left
Tell me why would I ever leave this bed
Like a child I'm afraid
So I stay where it's safe
I can't lose any race I don't run
All the games my mind plays
Keeps me far far away
From the place I'd rather be
Where I am free
Another dash on the headboard
Another day in this bed
A lonely lifetime of questions
Still swimming in my head
If I need someone to love me
Why do I hide away
Am I the only ghost that haunts me
Am I my own worst enemy
If time heals all wounds
But I don't have much left
Tell me why would I
Ever leave this bed
Like a child I'm afraid
So I stay where it's safe
I can't lose any race I don't run
All the games my mind plays
Keeps me far far away
From the place I'd rather be
Where I am free
Guess I'll pour another whiskey
And light up a cigarette
