Erin Enderlin - Till It's Gone

From the neon light of a liquor store to a flashing motel sign
I bought a room and did my best to disappear inside
I took the phone off the hook and put the sign out on the door
Opened up that bottle and let it pour till it was gone

Grabbed an ashtray from the dresser, lit a cigarette
I turned off the TV and laid down on the bed
I smoked one to the filter and I watched the ashes fall
Blew smoke rings at your memory as it danced across the wall till it was gone

I burned up all my chances like this book of motel matches
And the guilt cuts through the night like a knife cuts to the bone
Cause when you got no pride to spend, the heartache has no end
You just let those demons loose and just hold on, just hold on

The morning showed no mercy as the sun bled through the blinds
Silent films of you and me flashed behind my eyes
I shook off the whiskey but I could not shake the fact
I was a fool, I didn't know what I had till it was gone

I burned up all my chances like this book of motel matches
And the guilt cuts through the night like a knife cuts to the bone
When you got no pride to spend, the heartache has no end
Just let those demons loose and just hold on, just hold on
Till it's gone
Till it's gone
Till it's gone
Till it's gone
