You are pretty down to your bones You are ivory and wire and pearls I will kiss and kiss and kiss your skin Beg for you to let me in But oh, sometimes it hurts You pluck my nerves
I never wanted anyone else Don't want anyone else but you You are the neck Of the bottle I'm living in I never wanted anyone else Don't want anyone else but you I do adore The hand that I've been dealt Been dealt
I whimper, laugh, and cry There is a murmur of your love inside When you dress me in the dream you made I'll be your bargain, be your favorite But oh, sometimes it hurts You pluck my nerves
I never wanted anyone else Don't want anyone else but you You are the neck Of the bottle I'm living in I never wanted anyone else Don't want anyone else but you I do adore

I guess I just got lost being someone else. I tried to kill the pain, but nothing ever helped. I left myself behind, somewhere along the way hoping to come back around to find myself someday
Lately I'm so tired of waiting for you to say that it's okay. Tell me please Would you one time let me be myself so I can shine with my own light. Let me be myself.
Would you let me be myself?
'Cause I'll never find my heart behind someone else. I'll never see the light of day living in this cell. It's time to make my way into the world I knew. And then take back all of these times that I gave in to you
Lately I'm so tired of waiting for you to say that it's okay. Tell me please... Would you one time let me be myself so I can shine with my own light. Let me be myself.
For a while, if you don't mind, let me be myself so I can shine with my own light. Let me be myself.
That's all I ever wanted from this world, is to let me be me.
Please, would you one time let me be myself so I can shine with my own light. Let me be myself.
Please, would you one time let me be myself so I can shine with my own light. Let me be myself.
For a while, if you don't mind let me be myself so I can shine, with my own light. Let me be myself.
Would you one time let me be myself and let me be me.
So go on and tear it up Black and cold with the dust Cuz I believed in the lord And he don’t show up anymore
If you can’t trust the wind who can you trust? If you cant love sin who can you love? If I begin will you let me finish up? If I fell down would you pick me up? If I don’t drink from a silver cup, like you Would you say, ‘so long, farewell, good luck’
So go on tear it up Black and cold with the dust Cuz I believed in the Lord But he don’t show up anymore
If a man can’t lie how can he speak? If the sun don’t rise would the moon be out of reach If I came home would you get down on your knees?
So go on tear it up Black and cold with the dust Cuz I believed in the Lord And he don’t show up anymore Ohhhhhh
Cuz I believed in the lord Cuz I believed in the lord Cuz I believed in the lord But he don’t show up He don’t show up anymore No, not anymore Not anymore
She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind Until the night
[1st Chorus] He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger And finally drank away her memory Life is short but this time it was bigger Than the strength he had to get up off his knees We found him with his face down in the pillow With a note that said I'll love her till I die And when we buried him beneath the willow The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
(Sing lullaby)
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath She finally drank her pain away a little at a time But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind Until the night
[2nd Chorus] She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger And finally drank away his memory Life is short but this time it was bigger Than the strength she had to get up off her knees We found her with her face down in the pillow Clinging to his picture for dear life We laid her next to him beneath the willow While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
Say it to my face Look me in the eyes And say what you have to say You know we can't erase These words before they bind And turn the final page
Ah, here comes alone again
Coz everything's broken everything's vacant everything's wasted time again Sentiments, hopeless Innocence, jaded everything's wasted time again
And so we leave this stage And all our best written lines and all the acts we played so, say you want to leave and say we'd never have the way we always hope and we'd cry
And say hello to alone again
Coz everything's broken everything's vacant everything's wasted time again Sentiments, hopeless Innocence, jaded everything's wasted time again
Someday we might find (someday we will find) some sacred place in time (yeah, in time) but until then all will share are dreams we left behind
