Can't Stand The Mourning

Can't Stand the Mourning - American Authors

Lyrics by：Dave Rublin/Zac Barnett/Matt Sanchez/Zac Taylor

Produced by：Matt Sanchez/American Authors

I know death and taxes they can't be out run

I thought I'd have more time before the race begun

Lost my father at 20 and I lost you last week

How can I cope I still haven't found me

I've tried different religions and psychic hotlines

Must be someway to Hear your laugh one more time

So I self medicate to stay comfortably numb

Knowing sooner or later ya my day will come

I need chemicals to sleep

To see you in my dreams

If I take enough maybe one day we'll speak

Oh when I wake back up

You won't be there to talk

These photos & voicemails of you aren't enough

Let me close my eyes

Cuz I can't stand the mourning

Let me close my eyes

Cuz I can't stand the mourning

All my friends and my therapist tell me stay strong

But I haven't hit the gym in well God knows how long

All my smiles and tattoos are doing their part

They're all putting in overtime to cover my scars

Can't pretend that it's still the best day of my life

When I tell you the truth you say it's all a lie

So I'll pour one out and pour my heart into a drink

Cause I'd rather pay for whiskey than a mid-level shrink

I need chemicals to sleep

So I'll see you in my dreams

If I take enough maybe one day we'll speak

Oh when I wake back up

You won't be there to talk

These photos & voicemails of you aren't enough

Let me close my eyes

Cuz I can't stand the mourning

Let me close my eyes

Cuz I can't stand the mourning
