Lyrics

Everyday is a lifetime without you
Hard to get through since you've gone
So I do the only thing I know how to, to get by
I'm livin' for the night

I've drawn all the curtains in this old house
To keep the sun out and off of my face
Friends stop by to check-in 'cause I've checked out
I tell 'em I'm fine, I'm just livin' for the night

Daylight can't hide the tears I cry
The pain that came with your goodbye
The memories that keep me out of sight
Every night I venture out into those neon arms that hold me tight
I'm livin' for the night

I'm a whole lot easier to talk to
When I've had a few I settle down
Whiskey kills the man you've turned me into and I come alive
I'm livin' for the night

Daylight can't hide the tears I cry
The pain that came with your goodbye
The memories that keep me out of sight
Every night I venture out into those neon arms that hold me tight
I'm livin' for the night, I'm livin' for the night

Everyday is a lifetime without you
