Possession is nine tenths of your soul and you've grown old
You're living a lie that you somehow believe
Your woman left you five lonely years ago
And all you know is that the pain won't go
And the more you try to let her go, the more she won't go
And every time you hear her name it echoes in your soul
Drown it with the bottle let it float back up tomorrow with the rain
No point feeling oh so bad about the best thing you ever had now it's gone
Everyone stares at you from afar as you prop up the bar
They'll never know how it hurts inside
You'll never know how they can feel so glad to be alive
And the more you try to let her go, the more she won't go
And every time you hear her name it echoes in your soul
Drown it with the bottle let it float back up tomorrow with the rain
No point feeling oh so bad about the best thing you ever had now it's gone
No point feeling oh so bad, about the best thing you ever had now it's gone
