[Verse 1]
It's too many times, that you've tried to leave me
Once by the bottle, and once by the sword
And twice just by cheating

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I pick up the pieces
You don't see them
But I'll keep dreaming of a fixed love

[Chorus]
I remember a time when we spoke
Now I hold you so close but to you I'm a ghost
Years I've cherished to you are unknown
How am I supposed to know when you're drinking alone

[Verse 2]
I worry about the dog when you forget to feed him
And what do I say or explain to the youngest
When your arms are bleeding

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Yeah we all still see you
Know what you do
But I'll still pull through and stay with you
[Chorus]
I remember a time when we spoke
Now I hold you so close but to you I'm a ghost
Years I've cherished to you are unknown
How am I supposed to know when you're drinking alone

[Bridge]
And honey
I just want you to know
That I know that I can't understand
But I hope you feel like I feel
When I'm holding my hand in your hand
I just wanna know where we stand

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
I got out the albums, and I see you smiling
And just for a moment you were happy again
And inside I'm dying

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Put away the photos
Hang up your clothes
I call this our home, but you're not here
[Chorus]
I remember a time when we spoke
Now I hold you so close but to you I'm a ghost
Years I've cherished to you are unknown
How am I supposed to know when you're drinking alone
