lyrics

A bottle of bourbon and it's getting late
Talking it over in my head again
Don't it sting like a bee every time
You'd think I'd know better when you'll never be mine
Oh so wrong, holding on

Chorus:
Holding the lightening and letting it go
Only a moment before it's gone
Walking the hours into the flame
Pouring (pour me)another to the one that got away

It's ever so quiet the still of my heart
And every memory just tears me apart
Hope is a curse with fault line a mile
Tracing me back to the days of your smile
And all I know is I want more

CHORUS

Chains and rope have done no good
Keeping me from coming here again
Turn to turn I just get burned
Saving that little space for you and I

There's nothing to it, you just waste the time
Making the story somehow fit in your mind
Day after day, year after year
It all feels the same as when you were still here
So I'll hold on hard and strong

CHORUS
