I hit the ground, rock bottom deep

I'm trying hard to pick up speed but I can't compete

You're on a different level, a different place

And where we were it's not the same...not the same

Can that change?

All alone

Whiskeys kissing lips, can't get you on the phone

I'm drowning in the silence it's the loudest sound I've ever been around

Red eyes, long nights, I'm running out of time

My mistake to let you go; my mistake I didn't know

That I was so dependent so now I'm stranded

Such a mess, drop the hot I was in it but now I'm not

God, the shit you did for me so unselfishly

All I've ever wanted and more

Slipped through my hands and out the door

I was so blind I didn't know how great it was to call you mine

All alone

Whiskeys kissing lips, can't get you on the phone

I'm drowning in the silence it's the loudest sound I've ever been around

Red eyes, long nights, I'm running out of time

My mistake, to let you go; my mistake, I didn't know

That I was so dependent so now I'm stranded

My heart's no pity on me, it always remembers everything

And after you gave me the world why did I still decide to leave?

Can we start over? I'll give you love, I'll show ya

That wasn't me... that wasn't me

You are what I need

My mistake, to let you go; my mistake, I didn't know the misery

All alone

Whiskeys kissing lips, can't get you on the phone

I'm drowning in the silence it's the loudest sound I've ever been around

Red eyes, long nights, I'm running out of time

I should have know that I was so dependent

But now,

Now I'm stranded
