Four Years

[Verse 1] I take a shot of Jameson or Jack To start the morning off with old friends I'll celebrate like it's the anniversary Of the day that we first met I’ve been practicing our eulogy Separated all our things I took my name off of the lease I’m leaving [Chorus] Cause dear, four years hurts less than five (It’s never a good time) I am sorry for all my crimes And the wandering gaze of my unfaithful eyes [Verse 2] Now I wonder as I am sliding under the subtle control of the drink If I have enough left in the bottle to say all the things I’m thinking I’ve been practicing my exit plan, nervously checking time I still don’t know how I’ll survive [Chorus] [Bridge] It's clear I am an awful mess (I had to get this off my chest) Soon the only thing I'll have left Is your memory and promises never kept [Verse 3] When she came home I made her sit My feet tap out of rhythm as I draw breath in To hurt the only one I've loved This is so damn hard but I am giving up The person that you love is dead I flooded him out with the Jack and Jameson So happy anniversary The best gift I could think to give you was to set you free [Outro] Wake up, you're sleeping Wake up, you're sleeping behind the wheel Wake up, you're sleeping Wake up, you're sleeping behind the wheel Behind the wheel
