[English Original — exact user lyrics]
I sit here alone thinking
is this the reason I stoped drinking
it used to numb the pain
and kept my tears from falling like rain
we gave our love a good shot
but in. the end we did nothing but fought
I wish we could go back to where we first began but we both know we never can
our time together has come and gone so fast now all it is something we have to leave in the past no matter how dare we tried to make it last
now as I sit here alone crying wondering what could or should of been I find myself thinking maybe I should have just go ahead and retake up drinking
