No one has to tell me that you're a good man
He might be about as damn good as they come
No one has to tell me to be thankful for what I have
I'm as thankful as anyone

I can live forever in this house,
Forever in your heart
I still shiver in your arms
I can live with everything but what you've become
Justify the damage done,
If you were a happy drunk

That bottle always changes the way you look at me
So it's the only friend that you've got tonight
You're like a stranger half-skinned for sympathy
You don't mind taking it with a fight

I can live forever in this house,
Forever in your heart
I still shiver in your arms
I can live with everything but what you've become
Justify the damage done
If you were a happy drunk

It's who you are, it's in your blood,
Aint' nothin' gonna change that part of you
The part that's so damn hard to love

I still shiver in your arms
I can live with everything but what you've become
Justify the damage
If you were a happy drunk
