lyrics

GLIMPSES OF YOU

I felt as if my skin may rip. My voice slipped
The words had no grip on my thoughts
My thoughts had no hold on my heart

I spilt my beer down my chin, the last sip of you
And I turned to show my tears to the world
As I took my sorry self to the door

My senses get only glimpses of you, the rest is in my mind
You’re right here in this empty bed. In this empty bed.

You left me many weeks ago, the door just slammed.
You stretched me out and pinned me down.
This pain is satisfying. I can’t bear it

A fight is not an option now, even if I chose to fight.
I should have saved you up. Rationed you.
But instead I devoured you and now you’re gone

My senses get only glimpses of you, the rest is in my mind
You’re right here in this empty bed. In this empty bed.
