You'll finally see when the long nights come to an end
When your youth fades away and you're left without a friend
When the morning comes and there's someone in your bed
But no one in your heart
All those drunken nights out chasing tail
Leave you sad and lonely and your spirit frail
Cause the women come and they stay awhile
They lend themselves and are gone with a smile
The eyes are hollow at a bar around 2am
Try and choke your whiskey down
And find somewhere for the night to spend
Though she is only a bandaid for your bleeding heart inside
You don't care it'll do for just tonight
You ignored the others that told you to try and settle down
To find a girl to treat you right so your love would abound
Because you wanted to be free from all the fetters of love
But years go by and you know they're getting rough
When you're lonely it's a hard time to think
It goes best with a cigarette and something strong to drink
When you need someone to blame, cause you're shedding bitter tears
Take a look at the reflection in the mirror
