The sun is gonna wake up shinin'
It'll be the only thing that's blindin'
When the buzz wears off
My bloodshot eyes will remind me
Of the pretty stranger sleepin' beside me
When the buzz wears off
Thought the haze could erase
All the hurt that remains, but believe me
Tryin' to forget that you love somebody ain't easy
Last night I got to thinkin', if I get to drinkin'
Maybe I could fly higher than the pain
Girl, look for a minute, felt like I was winnin'
Wasn't even thinkin' 'bout your name
I knew the shots were a long shot
Whiskey's just a temporary memory loss
But you're still gone, you're still gone
Yeah, you're still gone
When the buzz wears off
I swore as the night got older
You wouldn't be hangin' over my shoulder
When the buzz wears off
I could smile for a while
I was strong as the drinks, they were pourin'
Now I'm sober enough
To see the truth in the light of the mornin'
Last night I got to thinkin', if I get to drinkin'
Maybe I could fly higher than the pain
Girl, look for a minute, felt like I was winnin'
Wasn't even thinkin' 'bout your name
I knew the shots were a long shot
Whiskey's just a temporary memory loss
But you're still gone, you're still gone
Yeah, you're still gone
