I can barely bear to be with you tonight
I can hardy stand to see you in this light
How can I even try to deny it
I can barely bear to be with you tonight
How long will you keep me waiting
I can only hold you in the dream tonight
I won't even think what claims you've made tonight
How can I even try to deny it
I can only hold you in the dream tonight
[Repeat verse 1]Free, alone. The predawn white light's coming on.
Bottle on the night stand.
I count disasters on my free hand now.
Run for cover there's a big one coming.
You'll be lucky if you're at ground zero.
You'll be lucky if it's got your number.
No one said that this life was easy.
Did that no one ever live a life this hard?
It gets hard. The bills are scattered in the yard.
Ashtray monument. A life spent waiting in cement.
After all, it's not that bad.
I still have pictures.
I look back at all the things that we once did.
You said, "I love you."
I guess you did.
Remember our life.
I did the dishes while you read out loud.
Best friends, strangers now.
Were our kids all we could call common ground.
