Stranglehold days wear you away pacing holes in linoleum stuck in a rut still love him too much hard to believe how far down you have come Bottle to glass Glass to your mouth A ritual you've grown accustomed to these days Windows no lights alone in a room The afternoon sun abandons you You're frozen stuck in the past 'cause nothing good seems to last You broke down somewhere along 'Cause nothing good lasts very long. Your children all raised no one to tend You burned all the bridges with all of your friends who Stood by your side in sorrow and hate You've driven them driven them all away You're frozen stuck in the past 'Cause nothing good seems to last Afraid you'll fade till you're gone 'Cause nothing good lasts very long You make the worst of everything you Childhood dreams that never came Still can't accept he up and left you Wedding vows still remember the day Your children raised no one to listen Pull the drapes shutting out the sun You pour yourself - yourself another While the out - the outside world moves on leaving you behind Looping it inside your head 'til it becomes frayed Stuck in a rut minutes turn hours into days
