Don’t look back in the morning
It’s too late now I was burnin' up
Weighing me down like the alcohol

I say the words and you listen
The tears they fall, then they glisten now
Baby hold me, one last time

Holy mother got me in the grip of her hands
Squeezing every drop of blood out of love
The liquor burning holes in every word that I speak
You say that you love me, but won’t let me breathe
You say that you love me, but won’t let me breathe
You say that you love me, but won’t let me

I can’t live and be lovin'
I can’t live and be tellin' the truth
I can’t live and be loving you

Holy mother got me in the grip of her hands
Squeezing every drop of blood out of love
The liquor burning holes in every word that I speak
You say that you love me but won’t let me breathe

I'm praying that the words I say don’t rip you apart
'Cause I know it hurts so much to break your heart
It’s midnight, and the screamin' isn’t doing us good
You say that you love me, but you never could

But baby, I swear I tried
There’s nothing more that I’d like
Than to be yours, for life
But there’s something inside screaming this is not right

Give it a few more years
Let the wound finally heal
Who I am to hold you back?
From finding someone who could love you like that

Love you like that
Love you like that
Love you like that
