"Seven Years" lyrics

There's hell in this heart and there's hell in this house
And there's hell in all the spaces in between
There's footsteps up the hallway
Where I used to walk when we still lived the dream
I slept with my window open with the sleet rain
And the hell inside my heart
There's smoke rising through the roof
As I get high on Tuesday night by lamplight with the smell of cedar in my bones

So long to seven years
I poured it down the drain
With all the whisky and the pain
And here's to you, my dear
Such a shame you couldn't stay
The demons never went away
I'm long gone

Smoked my way through a Sunday hangover
Choked my way through a four leaf clover
'Cause whisky ain't liquid luck
And it never helped me with giving a fuck, oh no
Puzzle pieces torn and frayed
My symmetry in disarray
I can't quite remember the last time I woke up without the shakes
The shakes, the shakes

So long to seven years
I poured it down the drain
With all the whisky and the pain
And here's to you, my dear
Such a shame you couldn't stay
The demons never went away
I'm long gone

So suddenly we find ourselves two years deep
Forever further from the people that we wanted to be
So fucking hang up the phone, get high, go back to sleep
So please just take what you need, I am my greatest defeat

And I love you
With every broken part of me
And I love you
With every broken part of me

So long to seven years
I poured it down the drain
With all the whisky and the pain
And here's to you, my dear
Such a shame you couldn't stay
The demons never went away

So long to seven years
I poured it down the drain
With all the whisky and the pain
And here's to you, my dear
Such a shame you couldn't stay
The demons never went away

So long to seven years
I poured it down the drain
With all the whisky and the pain
And here's to you, my dear
Such a shame you couldn't stay
The demons never went away
I'm long gone
