Lullaby by Kalie Shorr Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna chain-smoke
Cigarettes by myself anymore
Don't wanna drink whiskey out of the bottle
On the bathroom floor
And I don't want to hate somebody
I barely know just for loving you
Because if I'm honest, I get it
Once upon a time, I did too
[Chorus]
This is the sound of letting it go
Of learning to sleep when you're sleeping alone
Of figuring out how to love when you don't
I'm gonna scream and I'm gonna cry
But tonight I won't need the hallway light
I'm singing one last lullaby
And I'm putting this to bed
I'm putting this to bed
[Verse 2]
I built a little altar to all
That's left of what we were
I lit a few Mother Mary candles
That I stole from a Catholic church
I let it be, I let it burn
Let it go just like us
I said a prayer, I sang a song
And I think Jesus heard me cuss
[Chorus]
This is the sound of letting it go
Of learning to sleep when you're sleeping alone
Of figuring out how to love when you don't
I'm gonna scream and I'm gonna cry
But tonight I won't need the hallway light
I'm singing one last lullaby
And I'm putting this to bed
I'm putting this to bed
[Bridge]
I won't lie and say it's easy
Even I wouldn't believe me
I ain't trying to be mean
But thanks for leaving
[Chorus]
This is the sound of letting it go
Of learning to sleep when you're sleeping alone
Of figuring out how to love when you don't
I'm gonna scream and I'm gonna cry
But tonight I won't need the hallway light
I'm singing one last lullaby
And I'm putting this to bed
I'm putting this to bed
I'm putting this to bed
I don't wanna chain-smoke
Cigarettes by myself anymore
Don't wanna drink whiskey out of the bottle
On the bathroom floor
And I don't want to hate somebody
I barely know just for loving you
Because if I'm honest, I get it
Once upon a time, I did too
[Chorus]
This is the sound of letting it go
Of learning to sleep when you're sleeping alone
Of figuring out how to love when you don't
I'm gonna scream and I'm gonna cry
But tonight I won't need the hallway light
I'm singing one last lullaby
And I'm putting this to bed
I'm putting this to bed
[Verse 2]
I built a little altar to all
That's left of what we were
I lit a few Mother Mary candles
That I stole from a Catholic church
I let it be, I let it burn
Let it go just like us
I said a prayer, I sang a song
And I think Jesus heard me cuss
[Chorus]
This is the sound of letting it go
Of learning to sleep when you're sleeping alone
Of figuring out how to love when you don't
I'm gonna scream and I'm gonna cry
But tonight I won't need the hallway light
I'm singing one last lullaby
And I'm putting this to bed
I'm putting this to bed
[Bridge]
I won't lie and say it's easy
Even I wouldn't believe me
I ain't trying to be mean
But thanks for leaving
[Chorus]
This is the sound of letting it go
Of learning to sleep when you're sleeping alone
Of figuring out how to love when you don't
I'm gonna scream and I'm gonna cry
But tonight I won't need the hallway light
I'm singing one last lullaby
And I'm putting this to bed
I'm putting this to bed
I'm putting this to bed
