You can have a hangover from other things than alcohol. I had one from women.

Tried to Break It

Played the part but i can't fake it

It keeps holding on 

And it's holding strong

Even though i tried to break it

Heaven knows that i can't shake it

To Die a Little

          I went back up the steps and into the bedroom and pulled the bed to pieces and remade it, There was a long dark hair on one of the pillows. There was a lump of lead in the pit of my stomach. The french have a phrase for it. The bastards have a phrase for everything and they are always right. To say goodbye is to die a little.
