A Clean, Well-lighted Place
Mae McShan
Old man times are changing so fast
Your past loves are far gone and your thoughts
On life have slowed down
The bottle is all that you've got now
But I can see myself in those bloodshot eyes
And you were right. We all need to find our own
Ways to sleep at night. Anyway
I can make mistakes all on my own
I don't need your life to map out how self-pity
And regret swallowed you up whole
All I need is for you to know is that
It isn't you that keeps me up at night
