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
