L.U.I.

I'm falling away from hope again
Something I know all too well
And I fear I might have broken
A promise I made to myself
Seems I can hang over the edge
And keep my
Feet down on the floor
And I know I can't let you in - 'cause my hand's against the door

I can't love you when I'm sober, with nowhere to place the blame
And when the light shines through the window, a dirty inside still remains
I can't love you when I'm sober, when you're lying next to me
But something's got you holdin' on
Holdin' on
Holdin' on to me

There's not a
Time that I've been perfect - and "not a time that you were wrong"
If I can't feel today, how should I -
Live tomorrow (live tomorrow)
This is the only way, the world seen
Through a bottle
And I see behind that pretty face, you don't know
You don't know me

I can't love you when I'm sober, with nowhere to place the blame
And when the light shines through the window, a dirty inside still remains
I can't love you when I'm sober, when you're lying next to me
But something's got you holdin' on
Holdin' on
Holdin' on to me

Breakdown

Holdin' on...
To somethin' that'll never be - (to somethin' that'll never)
Life under the influence, is all I know, and all I see
Life under the influence, is takin' over me -
Life under the influence, is all I know and all I see
And I'm drowning in the water, cause
The hook is in too deep (in too deep)
And I can't

I can't love you when I'm sober, with nowhere to place the blame
And when the light shines through the window, a dirty inside still remains
I can't love you when I'm sober, when you're lying next to me
But something's got you holdin' on
Holdin' on
Holdin' on to me

I can't love you when I'm sober, with nowhere to place the blame
And when the light shines through the window, a dirty inside still remains
I can't love you when I'm sober, when you're lying next to me
But something's got you holdin' on
Holdin' on
Holdin' on to me
