I start my mornings with whiskey, end my nights on caffeine.

Ain't right, but it gets me right.

Feeling happy on Whitley, getting low on Mary Jane.

Yeah, anything these days to get me by.

You left me happy and where rock bottom is.

I never knew your silence could say so much.

I sleep on the other side of this cold king size.

So maybe I'll stop reaching for your touch.

Since you ain't been around,

I've been upside down and backwards.

You left fast, but you burn slow.

Time ticks at a standstill.

I hold on to let go.

I don't know why.

I'm lit up with the lights out. Just how you left me.

When you left me happy and where rock bottom is.

I never knew your silence could say so much.

I sleep on the other side of this cold king size.

So maybe I'll stop reaching for your touch.
