Lyrics
One more beer before I go to sleep
Maybe more, a drunk never dreams
there's a writing on the wall
I wrote it there last night
It says, "Why did I ever let you go?"
I know I had my reasons
but I can't recall them now
and the pictures that kept me smiling
are now filling me with doubt
By the time the sun has risen
I'm goddam tired of asking
"why did I ever let you go"
I know that I should try to leave these thoughts alone
But I just can't shake this cold and lonely feeling
Morning is calling but I won't answer her now
There are birds outside my window singing some sad old country song
I thought this time was different
I thought this time I'd follow through
But I know this time was different
that's why I didn't know what to do
and I know I had my reasons
but I can't recall them now
"why did I ever let you go?"
