“Is It Always Gonna Be This Way”

2am I woke up in a cold sweat

Heartbeat like a train that won’t slow down

In times like these I used to talk to Jesus

But lately I feel like He’s not around

I try to hold the picture of a smile

But the smoke trail from this guilt won’t go away

Bloody knuckles white with every mile

My grief and love can’t find a place to stay

I can’t let go of all this pain

Tell me is it always gonna be this way

It takes a lot of time to kill a memory

But it takes a whole lot more to knock me down

I spent all night dancing with the devil

But he don’t scare me none because I’ve been to his town

He came to me when I was in Chicago

In a black dress on a bar stool with a drink

And at home when I was pulling from the bottle

Getting fall down drunk in the mirror above the sink

I can’t let go of all this pain

Tell me is it always gonna be this way
