[Verse 1]
Well lately, I've been thinking about the person I've been
I've been picking up the pieces to a tired winter's end
There's a history between your dad and a bottle of gin
And it's keeping me sober when I'm missing you again
[Verse 2]
And I got offered a one night stand
I held those digits in my trembling, uncollected hands
But the thought of you still lingered even if your body can't
I threw away those numbers like you threw away our plans
[Chorus]
It don't make the pain go away anymore
I didn't even see that you were headed for the door
So maybe I won't see it and you'll come home tonight
I'm staying sober and I'm leaving on the light
[Verse 3]
I'm miles out and I'm planning to stay
But I keep counting down the numbers till I make it to that day
When I can finallyl get home and throw all your letters away
Just being honest, it's better that way
[Chorus]
But it don't make the pain go away anymore
I didn't even see that you were headed for the door
So maybe I won't see it and you'll come home tonight
I'm staying sober and I'm leaving on the light
I'm staying sober and I'm leaving on the light
[Verse 4]
The road is longer than I could ever dream
I've been trying to remember mostly the good things
But there were times I was torn at the seams
And the stitches to fix it had to make me bleed
Yeah, the stitches to fix it had to make me bleed
[Chorus]
But it don't make the pain go away anymore
I didn't even see that you were headed for the door
So maybe I won't see it and you'll come home tonight
I'm staying sober and I'm leaving on the light
I'm staying sober and I'm leaving on the light
I'm staying sober and I'm leaving on the light
No, I'm staying sober and I'm not gonna lie
I'm staying sober and I'm calling it a night
I'm staying sober and I'm wishing you goodbye
Wishing you goodbye
