Seven Years

There's hell in this heart and there's hell in this house And there's hell in all the spaces in between There's footsteps up the hallway Where I used to walk when we still lived the dream I slept with my window open with the sleet rain And the hell inside my heart There's smoke rising through the roof As I get high on Tuesday night by lamplight with the smell of cedar in my bones So long to seven years I poured it down the drain With all the whisky and the pain And here's to you, my dear Such a shame you couldn't stay The demons never went away I'm long gone Smoked my way through a Sunday hangover Choked my way through a four leaf clover 'Cause whisky ain't liquid luck And it never helped me with giving a fuck, oh no Puzzle pieces torn and frayed My symmetry in disarray I can't quite remember the last time I woke up without the shakes The shakes, the shakes So long to seven years I poured it down the drain With all the whisky and the pain And here's to you, my dear Such a shame you couldn't stay The demons never went away I'm long gone So suddenly we find ourselves two years deep Forever further from the people that we wanted to be So fucking hang up the phone, get high, go back to sleep So please just take what you need, I am my greatest defeat And I love you With every broken part of me And I love you With every broken part of me So long to seven years I poured it down the drain With all the whisky and the pain And here's to you, my dear Such a shame you couldn't stay The demons never went away So long to seven years I poured it down the drain With all the whisky and the pain And here's to you, my dear Such a shame you couldn't stay The demons never went away So long to seven years I poured it down the drain With all the whisky and the pain And here's to you, my dear Such a shame you couldn't stay The demons never went away I'm long gone
