I cry myself awake each morning
Days seem easier with that beginning
Live my loneliness in every tragic little dream
So by mid morning, I don't feel a thing
When I talk to you tonight
I will act like I'm alright
I won't bring you down
I won't bring you down here with me
Drift through the afternoon's distractions
While away the hours with no intentions
Listen to the songs we used to sing on repeat
So by the evening, I wonder where I've been
When I talk to you tonight
I will act like I'm alright
I won't bring you down
I won't bring you down here with me
I don't know how to live without you
I smoke and drink much more than I ought to
Whiskey helps me see you any time of the day
Darling, why are you so far, far away?
When I talk to you tonight
I will act like I'm alright
I won't bring you down
I won't bring you down
I won't bring you down here with me
