If I had a drink

I'd drink it

If I had a drug

I'd take it

I'd do anything to peel away the pain I feel right now

It's a mild December 31

and snow cries hard onto flooded earth

but it can't compare to tear-soaked beds shared by forbidden lovers again



One more time: Before we fade away and turn the page

One last time: With a final kiss remember this 12/31



Now I'm the one who sits alone

it's my fault I can't hold my own

You see I'm broken down and bleeding from a six month scab we peeled away tonight



In the year's last hour the swan song will fade at last

and I will sing no more

So just let me go
