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
|
