I am now the one she left
A haunted tale for someone else
A little bit about herself
Wherever she is sleeping
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
The past is fadin'
Over time, but it's still hangin' on for life
verse 2
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
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
The past is fadin'
Over time, but it's still hanging on for life
verse 3
I am now an old headstone
And to her grave I'll die alone
A testament of how she's grown
Wherever she is sleepin'
The past is fadin'
Over time, but it's still hanging on for life
