Cold Black Mile

This one went deep, these wounds will last This one's more than just the past This one's still here, it fills up these rooms Everything I see around here reminds me of you It's a war I fight every night Out here alone on the cold black mile It's in the grey of the mornin', it's in the sound of her name It's in the walls of that home we lived Where the love just couldn't stay And this might be the hardest thing I'll ever have to survive It's time to walk down the cold black mile I was on the front lines, yeah, you watched me retreat But when I came back busted and broken I was still standin' on my feet No, I'm not on my knees anymore I ain't prayin' for some open door Waitin' for somethin' we both know just don't belong here anymore I'll take the pain, feel it grow inside It's all I can carry on the cold black mile It's in the pain without answers, it's in the things you can't change It's in the callin' it forever, but then the words just blow away And I might die a thousand times, but I know I can survive I'll just keep on pushin' down the cold black mile (Ooh) (Ooh) It might've taken everything, but it gave me back my life Mornin' is breakin' now on the cold black mile
