Well these memories of mine don't seem to know you're gone They just cause my pain this day and linger on I fool myself each night and say everything will be okay But I know my dear I'm telling me a lie When we went our separate ways the bottle helped me through the days But the night time always found me wanting you But when I'll wake from this restless sleep I'll find you only in my dreams And then I know my dear I'm telling me a lie Found myself call out your name although you're not around And talking to these shadows have got me down I must be an awful sight huggin' my pillow every night Cause I know my dear I'm telling me a lie When we went our separate ways... And then I know my dear I'm telling me a lie
