I keep her picture by the bed
The only thing she left behind
The walls feel cold, the silence loud
Her memory burned into my mind
I hit the bottle to try to drown her out
Hoping to forget what I can't live without
I drown my sorrows, I try to drink away the pain
But it's never gone, it's always the same
The whiskey burns, but the hurt stays true
And I'm lost in the ghost of loving you
The clock keeps ticking on the wall
But time stands still when I'm alone
I thought I'd find some peace in the dark
But the quiet cuts me to the bone
I've fought with the past, tried to be strong
But I keep wondering where I went wrong
I drown my sorrows, I try to drink away the pain
But it's never gone, it's always the same
The whiskey burns, but the hurt stays true
And I'm lost in the ghost of loving you
I see her face in every drink
The glass is heavy in my hand
How much longer can I fall
Before I can't even stand?
I drown my sorrows, I try to drink away the pain
But it's never gone, it's always the same
The whiskey burns, but I'm starting to see
That letting go might set me free
I drown my sorrows, I try to drink away the pain
But it's never gone, it's always the same
The whiskey burns, but the hurt stays true
And I'm lost in the ghost of loving you
