lyrics

Should I pack my bags and go
Should I forget I ever knew you at all
It's getting late tonight
It's somehow stirring me then luring me to bed
You know I'm probably better off alone
And I know it takes one who clings to that post
So I'll ride on cause I can't help but please everyone but me again
Dripping down my sleeves
I start to get weak at the knees
Now sweaty palms rub
And I've forgotten when love was so sweet
Forgotten which touch I don't need
One day I'll just learn to walk away
One day I'll grow strong enough to say that we're through
Cause you're just cigarette smoke
Whiskey flavored coke I'm drawn to
So I'll stay cause I'm timid and afraid of change
Maybe we'll just fade away
Getting used to these trembling legs and shaky hands I use to bruise
It's dripping down my sleeves
I start to get weak at the knees
Now sweaty palms rub
And I've forgotten when love was so sweet
Forgotten which touch I don't need
