Drink It Away

Asystole is such a lonely sound  
Emptiness came crashing down  
As I watched you slip away  
How do I tell the one’s I love  
Words are too cold to say  
I pray for strength for today  
Cause tomorrow I’ll just drink it away  
   
Just drink it away    
Drink it away  
Little by little  
The pain will lead me astray  
Just drink it away  
Drink it away  
You were my forever  
Now the past is all I have... after today  
   
It’s the first sunrise without you  
I don’t have a clue (what do I do)  
I screamed your name in affray
All decisions are way too much  
How do I this without you here beside me  
Maybe I’ll stop at the church to pray  
Or sit here on these steps and just drink it away  
   
Just drink it away  (drink it away)  
Drink  it away  
Little by little (little by little)  
The pain will lead me astray  
Just drink it away  
Drink it away  
You were my forever  
Now the past is all I have... after today  
   
(Instrumental)  
   
Today is the day,  I’ll lay you to rest  
My body and soul is so obsessed and depressed    
I asked God why did he take her away  
Standing here with a single pink rose  
I’ll lay on your doorway as tears fill my eyes  
When they lower you in that Georgia red clay  
The darkness will overcome, I’ll just drink it away  
   
Just drink it away (drink it away)  
Drink it away, oh yeah...  
Little by little (little by little)  
The pain will lead me astray (so astray)  
Just drink it away (drink it away)  
Drink it away (drink it away)  
You were my forever  
Now the past is all I have... after today
