That Awful Lie

I spent today's paycheck

On last month's rent

On a one bedroom apartment

A tiny broken home

Since she has been gone

Everything has been wrong

And these sad thoughts won't leave me alone

It's just four walls and a roof

And me alone and a bottle of ninety proof

I can't get her off my mind

And I keep telling myself I'm fine

I keep believing that awful lie

I got a job working at a factory

We make printers and ink

So when I get off at five

I go home and I sit alone and drink

And I close my eyes

And I picture her sitting next to me

I drown my sorrows

Because that's only fantasy

It's just four walls and a roof

And me alone and a bottle of ninety proof

I can't get her off my mind

And I keep telling myself I'm fine

I keep believing that awful lie

I still have faith in god above

But it's hard when he took away what I love

It's just four walls and a roof

And me alone and a bottle of ninety proof

I can't get her off my mind

And I keep telling myself I'm fine

I keep believing that awful lie

I keep believing that awful lie
