Keeping Me Alive

I shouldn't drink tonight

I should probably slow it down

But every time I'm sober

Her memory takes over

And knocks me to the ground



So here I go again

Pullin' that bottle of the shelf

But it's only until

My heart heals

Is what I tell myself

I say that I've got it under control

But sometimes man I swear just don't know



And the shot from a bottle helps kill the pain

Lately it's the only thing thats keeps me sane

It's hard to explain

Here I go again like every night

Doin' what's wrong just to make it alright

Knockin' back the light

But I can't decide

If it's killin' me or keepin' me alive



My mind goes back in time

To that night I took a chance

I was shakin' inside

I swallowed my pride

And I asked her to dance

She was the prettiest thing I've ever seen

But damn it all these memories are hell on me



And the shot from a bottle helps kill the pain

Lately it's the only thing thats keeps me sane

It's hard to explain

Here I go again like every night

Doin' what's wrong just to make it alright

Knockin' back the light

But I can't decide

If it's killin' me or keepin' me alive



I know someday it's gonna get better

But until then, I need some help to forget her



And the shot from a bottle helps kill the pain

Lately it's the only thing thats keeps me sane

It's hard to explain

Here I go again like every night

Doin' what's wrong just to make it alright

Knockin' back the light

But I can't decide

If it's killin' me or keepin' me alive

If it's killin' me or keepin' me alive

Is it killin' me, or keepin' me alive?
