You Won't See Me Again

Hey it’s me
I just don’t think I can do this anymore

I’ve got whisky on my breath
And destruction on my hands
And you’re just too tired to fight
After this last second chance

She said you can have it all
Or you can walk away
I know what I should do
But I only know how to say

You won’t see me again

In every photograph
The same old smiling face
We could always hide the pain
And those times I can’t replace

Tears held in her eyes
She said do you want to be alone
I just turned with my head bowed
Stepped out into the cold
I’m scared you won’t see me again

I ran outside under the stars in that night
And I fell to my knees praying God can you find me

Nine months down the road
On the steps of a halfway house
A band of vacant souls
Help carry my things out

Tears fall from my eyes
She’s waiting there for me
For the first time in my life
I know I’m finally free

And I whisper to the demons
You won’t see me again
