I never want to drink again and then I hear this song...I am posting it cos I know it gets better.

See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin' while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin' while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you

Baby I don't know why ya treat me so bad
You said you loved me, no one above me
And I was all you had
And though my heart is beating for ya
I can't stop crying
I don't know how
I allow you to treat me this way and still I stay

See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin' while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you

Baby I don't know why ya wanna do me wrong
See when I'm home, I'm all alone
And you are always gone
And boy, you know I really love you
I can't deny
I can't see how you could bring me to so many tears
After all these years

See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin' while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin' while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
Oohhhhh
I trusted you, I trusted you
So sad, so sad
What love will make you do
All the things that we accept
Be the things that we regret
Too all of my ladies (ladies) feel me
C'mon sing wit me
See, when I get the strength to leave you
Always tell me that you need me
And I'm weak cause I believe you
And I'm mad because I love you
So I stop and think that may be
You can learn to appreciate me
Then it all remains the same that
You ain't never gonna change
(never gonna change, never gonna change)
My-days are cold baby
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin' while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin' while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you

Baby why you hurt me leave me and desert me
Boy I gave you all my heart
And all you did was tear it up
Looking out my window
Knowing that I should go
Even when I pack my bags
See something always hold me back

it's a lot like leaving a bad relationship. when i was drinking all i wanted to do was quit and all i wanted to do was keep drinking because i was too afraid to leave it. i was tied to it. it was what my life was dedicated to. it was me and who was i without alcohol? i was scared that i wouldn't even know who i was if i was sober. at least if i was drinking i had an identity, even if it was one i hated. i knew who i was. it took being away from alcohol and being lost for a while and scared until i started learning who i was again, all on my own. i had to learn to be alone and learn who i was again. it was hard. it is hard. but the longer i'm away, the better able i am to see what an abusive relationship i was in. i still respect how hard it was for me to leave. how tied up and twisted i was with alcohol. it took a lot of strength and support to free myself and it took me being willing to be scared. i'm still a little scared sometimes but oh so much better. i know now that i'm better off without it. i've found something better in my life. i've found myself and i'm building a stronger relationship with myself now. one that alcohol would never have let me have. alcohol was jealous and controlling and self centered. i may miss it occasionally, we had good times in the beginning and we had some fun, but i'll never be able to forgive what it turn our relationship into. and i know now that if i go back, we won't go back to those fun, good times. we'll go back to that abusive, manipulative relationship. no, i'd rather be alone than be abused. i'm learning to live with myself and i'm learning to be happy with me. alcohol would never have let me do that.
