Just one more sip

That's what he said as he reached for the glass

Enough to forget

But still not enough to go chasing the past

A lit cigarette

She danced in the shadows the light had cast

She draws a deep breath

And takes every step like it might be her last

He said, "Lord, why did her leaving just leave me in sin?"

We were two hearts just beating with blood running thin

Now he can't find her rhythm, so he turns to the gin

In hopes that he can drown out that flame deep within

Ah, but she ain't so different, she's living the same

She just uses a different prescription for pain

She sparks up her lighter and stares at the flame

Yeah, they'd both rather die numb than live on insane

"Just one more hit"

That's what she said as she reached for the glass

She'll light her regret

And smoke it away if it keeps coming back

He's free to wonder, but he just has to ask

But he knows the answer, he grabs his flask

He asked, "Lord, why did her leaving just leave me in sin?"

We were two hearts just beating with blood running thin

Now he can't find her rhythm, so he turns to the gin

In hopes that he can drown out that flame deep within

Ah, but she ain't so different, she's living the same

She just uses a different prescription for pain

She sparks up her lighter and stares at the flame

Yeah, they'd both rather die numb than live on insane
