lyrics

What if I would say you were the holiday
I needed and nothing more than a song to pass the time?
You got up in my head I crawled right in your bed
And you took just what you wanted as I tried to drown the love that haunted me

And I used to drink for fun
Now I drink just to get by
An empty bed and a ghost
By my side, oh what if I?

Now I walk these streets
Awake and in my sleep
And the whiskey dreams come nightly
As I toss and turn with my pillow tightly
And if you would say
I was your great escape
Then I guess I'd be alright
But until then it's head down cut these corners

I used to be my mother's son
Now I barely know my name
I swear to God I never though
That I would change but what if I?

And I used to drink for fun
Now I drink just to get by
And empty bed and a ghost
By my side oh what if I?
