The Only Thing Left Standing

(Verse 1)

She came into my life just like a dream

I fell for every line she ever gave me

(PreChorus1)

I dropped my guard, opened my heart

I thought that maybe we would start a family

(Chorus)

The whiskey and the coke, led to the fire and the smoke

That I had hoped would burn away her memory

But now I'm standing in this rain

So tired of fighting through this pain

As the storms surround and wash the flames away

Now there's only ash and rubble at my feet

And the only thing left standing here is me

(Verse 2)

Every room in this house has shared a moment

Reminders of each regret and disappointment

(PreChorus2)

I poured the rounds then tossed them down

I struck the match and I screamed out loud this ends now

(Chorus)

The whiskey and the coke, led to the fire and the smoke

That I had hoped would burn away her memory

But now I'm standing in this rain

So tired of fighting through this pain

As the storms surround and wash the flames away

Now there's only ash and rubble at my feet

And the only thing left standing here is me

(Bridge)

The clouds that gathered in the sky

Unleashed a storm that seemed to try

And save the house that I'd built just for her

But I'd poured so much kerosene

That the flames could still be clearly seen

Through the rain and smoke until the war was over

(Chorus)

The whiskey and the coke, led to the fire and the smoke

That I had hoped would burn away her memory

But now I'm standing in this rain

So tired of fighting through this pain

As the storms surround and wash the flames away

Now there's only ash and rubble at my feet

And the only thing left standing here is me
