|
I drink because |
|
I'm thirsty |
|
I drink because |
|
I'm dryI'm not yet quite thirty |
|
But I feel like |
|
I'm dyingI drink because |
|
I want to, |
|
I need toI don't know what else to do with my time |
|
I won't say it but you can see it in my eyes |
|
You drink 'cause you're lonely |
|
You drink 'cause you're sad |
|
You always claim every party |
|
Was the best time you've ever had |
|
You drink 'cause you're scared of a life |
|
Of living off your own company |
|
You won't say it |
|
But I can see it in your eyes |
|
Of all of the things |
|
I could become |
|
A lonely drunkard isn't one |
|
For which |
|
I would've wished |
|
When I was young |
|
But drink has drunk my days away |
|
I tried to live like |
|
Hemmingway |
|
Life just doesn't work that way |
|
And pills don't kill the pain |
|
They just delay |
|
We drink 'cause we're scared that |
|
If we should stop |
|
The good times will go away |
|
But the bad times will not |
|
And what if it's over and we're sober |
|
And we still feel like we're fixing to die |
|
What then? |
|
Don't say it' |
|
Cause I can see it in your eyes |
|
The next round's on me |
|
The next round's on me |
|
The next round's on me |
|
The next round's on me |
|
The next round's on me |
|
The next round's on me |
|
The next round's on me |
|
The next round's on me |
