Reckoning Lyrics

This house is cold and lonely
This place is just a tomb
It's an old cruel reminder of the past
That's what's left of me and you
I can't sleep in our bed no more
Misery shakes me to the bone
Even when I try to get some rest
I cannot sleep alone

So I hide from the reckoning
I hide from the truth
And I hide from the reckoning
Till I'm lying next to you
Till I'm lying next to you

These prescription pills get me by
At the bottom of a bottle every night is where I hide
I hide from the fact that you're gone
And after all these years I'm all alone
At the end of my road now
On my way to ease the pain
When I get there I put that cold steel to my head
I squeeze the trigger beside your grave

Hide from the reckoning
Hide from the truth
Yeah, I hide from the reckoning
Till I'm lying next to you
Till I'm lying next to you
Till I'm lying next to you

Yeah I hide from the reckoning
I hide from the truth
Yeah I hide from the reckoning
Till I'm lying next to you, till I'm lying next to you
Till I'm lying next to you, till I'm lying next to you

What is the Meaning of Reckoning?

Well, if you thought your breakup was rough, this guy's taking compartmentalization to Olympic levels. This heart-wrenching country ballad paints a portrait of a man drowning in grief after losing his love, turning their once-warm home into a personal mausoleum of memories. Rather than face reality, he's created a carefully curated cocktail of prescriptions, alcohol, and denial. But here's the dark twist - his ultimate plan for reunion involves making his final resting place right beside his departed beloved. Talk about relationship goals gone wrong! The song masterfully captures that particularly devastating flavor of grief where acceptance seems more painful than any alternative. #GriefAndLoss #CountryHeartbreak #DarkLove #MourningAfter
