You're seeing life by the tip of the cigarette
You look around but there's no one there
When the empty cup means the end of the day
You want to ask her one more time to stay
So you light up and pick up the phone
But that's when you remember she's gone
While filling up to make things right
You wonder if you can make it through the night
 - Can you take it any longer?
Maybe you just need something stronger

You feel like you're sinking in your chair
You should know by now Life was never fair
But still we dare to hope, and to pray,
That one day she'll come back to stay
One more sip, let our sunken eyes gaze
But we can't make anything out in the haze
Another bottle to our left, ashtray to the right
To help us dodge the nightmares tonight
 - And when there's no more strength to borrow
We just hope we make it to tomorrow.
