+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

How are you feelin'

Do you feel okay

'Cause I don't

It keeps me reelin'

Will I ever be the same

No I won't

It's a cold day in a cruel world

I really wished I could have saved you

Then who would have saved me from myself

Right now, well, I could use a stiff drink

To kill the pain that's deep inside my bones

Have you been dreamin'

I don't dream at all

I have nightmares

Memories careenin'

Have you come to kill what's left

Of my smile

There's no vacancy in paradise

I really wished I could have saved you

Then who would have saved me from myself

Right now, well, I could use a stiff drink

Kill the pain that's deep inside my bones

I really wished I could have saved you

Then who would have saved me from myself

I really wished I could have saved you

I'll never forget you

I'll never forget you

I'll never forget you

I'll never forget you

I really wished I could have saved you

I really wished I could have saved you

I really wished I could have saved you

I really wished I could have saved you
