I've been with you for so many years, I've stayed through the broken promises and all the tears.

So how do I walk away and leave the pain behind, How do I search for the peace and happiness I need to find.

You tell me your gonna get your life straight, But how do I tell you it's too late.

You live with the ghosts of the past, When you walk backwards you'll never build a future that will last.

I can't carry the heartaches around anymore, So how do I say good-bye when I walk out that door.

You've got the bottle to help you through the night, But can you face the morning light.

When your laying in bed alone in the early hours of dawn, And you realize I'm not comming back, will you even care that I'm gone.

Will I have what it takes to make it through, On this journey I have to take to get over you.
