Leave This Bed Lyrics

Whiskey bottle by my bedside

And a half smoked cigarette

Can't remember much of last night

Only drinking to forget

That my arms are always empty

And I need someone to hold

That the sands of time keep falling

And I'm afraid I'll die alone

If time heals all wounds

But I don't have much left

Tell me why would I ever leave this bed

Like a child I'm afraid

So I stay where it's safe

I can't lose any race I don't run

All the games my mind plays

Keeps me far far away

From the place I'd rather be

Where I am free

Another dash on the headboard

Another day in this bed

A lonely lifetime of questions

Still swimming in my head

If I need someone to love me

Why do I hide away

Am I the only ghost that haunts me

Am I my own worst enemy

If time heals all wounds

But I don't have much left

Tell me why would I

Ever leave this bed

Like a child I'm afraid

So I stay where it's safe

I can't lose any race I don't run

All the games my mind plays

Keeps me far far away

From the place I'd rather be

Where I am free

Guess I'll pour another whiskey

And light up a cigarette
