Life I've Got

Well I couldn’t fall asleep again 
My breath was ash and sour 
With the echoes of my rising voice 
That split the ears of a former lover 

I’m sorry I brought you down 
To the place where I’ve been dwelling 
But I haven’t learned to live 
Without your spark 
And I got to somehow live 
This life I’ve got 

And so you spit me out 
In a decaying world 
With but the faintest light to guide me 
And I find and walk that path I know 
To be reserved for the slowly dying 
‘Cause I know how to paint the town 
And carry on with women 
But if you think that’s what I want 
Well, girl, you’re wrong. 
But I guess that’s just how I’m livin’ 
Now that you’re gone. 

So when I called you, you cried again 
And with each sob I grew bitter 
And oh I long to hear your sweetest voice 
It so shakes me I might shatter 
Are you tryin’ to bring me down 
When I was feeling so much better? 
Or make me look for your love where it is not? 
Well I guess I’m finally learning now 
I guess I’m finally learning how 
I guess I’ve learned how to live with the life I’ve got.
