Forget Him Again

It's happened again, you know what it means
when your phone rings this late at night
I'm drunk and alone and I know that you're home
and that you can make everything right.
He hurt me again, the stories the same
although this time he may not return.
my heart feels so dead, there's a pain in my head
you would think that someday I would learn.
I ask to come over, you say it's okay
I hang up and I jump in the car.
I speed down the street, glad you weren't asleep
and thank God that it isn't too far.
I know that you're there when I need you
You've always been my faithful friend
I'm running to you, it's a safety I use
to help me forget him again.
You don't bother me with stupid questions
don't ask me if I'm sure I should stay.
You help me to live, forget and forgive
and push all the storm clouds away.
Your smiles what I need to feel better
I know you won't tell me I'm wrong
just turn off the lights and hold me real tight
and tomorrow I'll wake feeling strong.
Some say it's not right how I use you
but maybe you use me the same
and if both of us know the way that it goes
then we are really not fit for the blame.
So love me down lightly again please
bring the warmth that I so want to find
Your inner peace may come while we sleep
at the same time that I'm finding mine.
