Lyrics

2 a.m. I woke up in a cold sweat
Heartbeat like a train that won’t slow down
In times like these I used to talk to Jesus
But lately I feel like He’s not around
I try to hold the picture of a smile
But the smoke trail from this guilt won’t go away
Bloody knuckles white with every mile
My grief and love can’t find a place to stay
Oh I can’t let go
Of all this pain
Oh tell me is it always
Is it is always gonna be this way
It takes a lot of time to kill a memory
But it takes a whole lot more to knock me down
I spent all night dancing with the devil
But he don’t scare me none because I’ve been to his town
 
He came to me when I was Chicago
In a black dress on a barstool with a drink
And at home when I was pulling from the bottle
Gettin fall down drunk in the mirror above the sink
Oh I can’t let go
Of all this pain
Oh tell me is it always
Is it is always gonna be this way
