I drink because |
|
I'm thirsty, |
|
I drink because |
|
I'm dry. I'm not yet quite thirty, but |
|
I feel like |
|
I'm dying. |
|
I drink because |
|
I want to, |
|
I need to, |
|
I 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 because you're lonely, you drink because you're sad |
|
You always claim every party was the best time you've ever had |
|
You drink because 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 |
|
Hemingway, but life just doesn't work that way |
|
And the pills don't kill the pain, they just delay. |
|
We drink because 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, |
|
I can see it in your eyes. |
|
The next round is on me |
|
The next round is on me |
|
The next round is on me |
|
The next round is on me |
|
The next round is on me |
|
The next round is on me |
|
The next round is on me |
|
The next round is on me |
