Barely Alive

Everything is fallin' darker every day and every night
Like I thought it would
Everything I ever had was part of you and I
Now there's nothing good
If I survive
If I survive
I'll be barely alive
Every time I take a drink of whiskey just to get me by
I think of you
Every night that I don't lay down by your side
Girl, I think of you
If I survive
If I survive
I'll be barely alive
Tell me what it is you needed me to say
Tell me what it is you needed me to do
Tell me what it is you needed me to be
Can't you see the pain I'm going through?
I'm just barely alive
Everything is fallin' darker every day and every night
Like I thought it would
Everything I ever had was part of you and I
Now there's nothing good
If I survive
If I survive
I'll be barely alive
I'll be barely alive
I'll be barely alive
Girl, I'm barely alive
