A Drinking Habit

The tears fall down like rain Not waking up to you drive me insane The now so dark abyssal nights Is not worth the drinking and our fights I wish I could be a better man I wish I could change my ways Now that I am missing the one thing that made me happy I am blind to reality, in a haze I want to rewind I want to show you I can be kind again I am tired of sleeping alone Baby, I wish you would just come home Or at least, I wish I could hear your voice on the phone I wish I could be a better man I wish I could change my ways Now that I am missing the one thing that made me happy I am blind to reality, in a haze It's not easy knowing I could have changed all this That we would still be happy, and your lips I could kiss I just want you back, it is you I miss I wish I could be a better man I wish I could change my ways Now that I am missing the one thing that made me happy I am blind to reality, in a haze I stopped my ways for you But you are long gone I just hope to not repeat my ways I want to meet someone else in future days And never go back to old ways Copyright 2009 All rights reserved -Matthan C.
