[Verse 1]
I've messed up my life
I lost my son and my wife
Never before, she walked out the door
Without ever saying, "goodbye"
(Without ever saying, "goodbye")
And I just don't have a clue
I'm broken and lost without you
I've done it again, I've lied to my friend
Why can't I just tell the truth?
(Why can't I just tell the truth?)

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I'll sail along
So maybe I'll tell you with a song

[Chorus]
What does it mean?
Was it a dream, when we were happy?
Life was serene
When I got clean, and you finally had me
There wasn't a day (Wasn't a day)
That we wouldn't say, boy, are we lucky!

[Outro]
But now that you’re gone
I’m writing these songs
Trying to just make it through
Without you...
