Haven’t posted in a really long time...figured I’d dip my toes back in the water. Thoughts?

One More Night.

(V 1)
They say to keep your head up
'till the night turns into day,
and don't you play the blues
unless you don't want love to stay.
I know you've always told me
every time before I fall,
but I've been down so long,
oh babe, you know I can't recall.

(Chorus)
I can't recall
all the times I hurt you.
I can't recall
all the long, long nights.
I don't remember all the fights.
I was wrong, guess you were right,
but I've been down so long,
what's one more night?

(V 2)
I make my way on the town,
a creature of the night.
Bottom of a whiskey glass,
fightin' inner fights.
There was something you said to me
right before I stalled,
but I've been down so long,
oh babe, you know I can't recall.

(Chorus)
I can't recall
all the times I hurt you.
I can't recall
all the long, long nights.
I don't remember all the fights.
I was wrong, guess you were right,
but I've been down so long,
what's one more night?

(Bridge)
Every time I hear your voice,
it always leads me home,
but darlin' don't you blink
because you know that I'll be gone...

(V 3)
The mirror in the mornin'
shames the night before.
Bleedin' eyes and poundin' head,
I can't take much more.
I know you've always loved me,
even when I drop the ball,
but if you ask me,
I'll just tell you that I can't recall.

(Chorus)
I can't recall
all the times I hurt you.
I can't recall
all the long, long nights.
I don't remember all the fights.
I was wrong, guess you were right,
but I've been down so long,
what's one more night?

(Tag)
I've been down so long,
What's one more night.

If you give them the tools, you give them a chance.
