Can't Stand The Mourning

I know death and taxes, they can't be out run

I thought I'd have more time before the race begun

Lost my father at twenty and I lost you last week

How can I cope, I still haven't found me

I've tried different religions and psychic hotlines

Must be someway to hear your laugh one more time

So I self-medicate to stay comfortably numb

Knowing sooner or later, yeah, my day will come

I need chemicals to sleep to see you in my dreams

If I take enough maybe one day wе'll speak

Oh, when I wake back up, you won't bе there to talk

These photos and voicemails of you aren't enough

Let me close my eyes

'Cause I can't stand the mourning

Let me close my eyes

'Cause I can't stand the mourning

All my friends and my therapist tell me stay strong

But I haven't hit the gym in well, God knows how long

All my smiles and tattoos are doing their part

They're all putting in overtime to cover my scars

Can't pretend that it's still the best day of my life

When I tell you the truth, you say, it's all a lie

So I'll pour one out and pour my heart into a drink

'Cause I'd rather pay for whiskey than a mid-level shrink[Chorus]

I need chemicals to sleep to see you in my dreams

If I take enough maybe one day we'll speak

Oh, when I wake back up, you won't be there to talk

These photos and voicemails of you aren't enough

Let me close my eyes

'Cause I can't stand the mourning

Let me close my eyes

'Cause I can't stand the mourning
