Eyes Burning Red

The back of my throat’s on fire again From the taste of my tears mixed with my favorite bourbon Yeh, I dropped the ball It’s nobody’s fault but my own That I’m here and you’re gone Baby I sure miss you How you doin’ without me It’s so hard to breathe Knowin’ you’re not around me Can’t run from the truth Ain’t found a way yet With a heart turnin‘ black And eyes burnin’ red You’re the song in my head that haunts me each night I can’t block it out and I can’t make it right I just lie in this bed and try to forget I ever tasted your love But It’s hopeless because Baby I sure miss you How you doin’ without me It’s so hard to breathe Knowin’ you’re not around me Can’t run from the truth Ain’t found a way yet With a heart turnin‘ black And eyes burnin’ red, oh And eyes burnin’ red, oh I’ve soaked every pillow I’ve prayed every prayer But I’m still broken and you’re still not here Baby I sure miss you How you doin’ without me It’s so hard to breathe Knowin’ you’re not around me Can’t run from the truth Ain’t found a way yet With a heart turnin‘ black With a heart turnin‘ black And eyes burnin’ red, oh And eyes burnin’ red
