Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm now the one she left
A haunted tale for someone else
A little bit about herself
Wherever she is sleepin'
[Verse 2]
Flint strikes out to pierce the dark
'Cause a flame from just one spark
Fill the room with smoke so harsh
She exhales a memory
[Verse 3]
The past is fadin' over time
But it's still hangin' on for life
[Verse 4]
I'm now her used to be
He is now the one she needs
He is now the one she leans on
She looks out at the sunset
[Verse 5]
On a quilt of rags, he holds her tight
And they raise a toast of Bulleit rye
Whiskey kills all things in time
Like things she don't remember
[Verse 6]
The past is fadin' over time
But it's still hangin' on for life
[Verse 7]
I'm now an old headstone
To her grave, I'll die alone
A testament of how she's grown
Wherever she is sleepin'
[Verse 8]
The past is fadin' over time
It's still hangin' on for life
