Lyrics
I was in love with all of my heart
and nothing in the world could ever tear us apart
Nothing 'cept the pills and the ills they bring
I found her clinging onto life on the fire escape
She said, "I've got to get to heaven. Man, I just can't wait
Enough is enough. I've had all that I can take"
I guess what I called love wasn't good enough
It feels like Heaven's just a box with some dirt on top
I've been talking in my sleep
I've been lying to my own dreams
It's a little bit harder than it seems
To let you go when you still gotta hold on me
I went down to Austin trying to clear my mind
Looking for some love or whatever I could find
And I found it in a bottle down at Darwin's on 6th
But now every night I love myself another 1/5
I've been talkin in my sleep
I've been lyin to my own dreams
It's a little bit harder than it seems
To let you go when you still gotta hold on me
I was in love with all of my heart
nothing in the world could ever tear us apart
I guess what I called love wasn't good enough
and it feels like Heaven's just a box with some dirt on top
