How Far I Could Fall
This house is full of memories
Empty bottles, ghosts of dream
When you left, you left me here with them
And they ain't much for company
They like the quiet just like me
The darkness seems to hide the way I stare

And your picture right or wrong
Still hangs upon my wall
I never knew how fall I could fall

Lost nights and whiskey mornings
Falling down without a warning
This life ain't no way to survive
Maybe it's part of my bigger plan
Cause without you I can’t understand
Why my heart just doesn’t up and die

And your picture right or wrong
Still hangs upon my wall
I never knew how fall I could fall
Barroom dolls, and bourbon, cocaine
Never seems to hide my pain for long
And it seems this city lights
Don’t shine quite as bright at all, at all

And your picture right or wrong
Still hangs upon my wall

Seems only darkness left
This bottle smells like death
Well, I gave up when you said good bye
But maybe it’s part of my bigger plan
Cause without you I can’t understand
Why my heart just doesn’t drown and die
