Story Behind The Song

A tale of regret, a failed relationship and the vices that come along with it.

Lyrics

BAD HABITS

Verse 1:

Honey I promise I'm usually not like this
I hadn't sat down the bottle since I got outta bed
You let the phone keep ringing but I know you're home
I leave a message at the sound of the tone
If my words are stuttered or I talk to slow
Or if you start to worry--darlin' please don't


Chorus:

I only smoke when I'm drinking
And I'm only drinking when I'm breathing
'Cause these days each breath I take reminds me of you
You said I'm not the man you needed
Is that the reason that you're leaving?
'Cause I did everything you said that I should do
I only got these bad habits 'cause I haven't got you

Verse #2:

Bought my first pack of cigarettes the morning you left
In a haze of fog and drunken breath
And I wondered 'What am I gonna do?'
So I pulled out the records you used to like
Played your favorites straight through and the sad ones twice
Now the bourbon's long gone but the hurt don't leave
So tell me . 'Did ya ever give a damn about me?'


Bridge:

I'm trying to keep my head on straight
To stay above water and I can't handle the weight
Of the feeling I'm drowning and now I can't be saved
