i've forfeited my right    to ever sleeping easy    again at night    given up on being alone    cause my conscience is the loudest company    when no one's home    and i still can't believe how quick it happened    from momentary lapse to chain reaction    after all these years    i can't out run your tears       i'll turn 98    still saying sorry everyday    i need you to know that you're all that i wanted    and that i'm still haunted       i've been losing track of time    lost in thoughts of a life    that that would not be mine    how many bottles will it take    to wash down the toughest pill    that i'll have to take       i wonder how far we could have seen it    can one foolish man leave fate defeated    after all these years    i can't out run your tears       i'll turn 98    still saying sorry everyday    i need you to know that you're all that i wanted    and that i'm still haunted
