Lyrics
“Living For The Night”
Everyday is a lifetime without you
Hard to get through, since you’ve gone
So I do the only thing I know how to , to get back
I’m living for the nightI’ve drawn all the curtains in this old house
To keep the sun out, off of my face
Friends stop by to check – in ‘cause I’ve checked out
I tell them I’m fine, I’m just living for the nightI can’t hide the tears I cry, the pain that came with your goodbye
The memories that keep me out of sight
Every night I venture out, into those neon arms that hold me tight
I’m living for the nightI’m a whole lot easier to talk to, when I’ve had a few, settled down
Whiskey kills the man you’ve turned me into
And I come alive
I’m living for the nightI can’t hide the tears I cry, the pain that came with your goodbye
The memories that keep me out of sight
Every night I venture out, into those neon arms that hold me tight
I’m living for the night
I’m living for the nightEveryday is a lifetime without you
