I drink because I'm thirsty
I drink because I'm dry
I'm not yet quite 30
But I feel like I'm dying
I drink because I want to, I need to, because I don't know what else to do
with my time
I wont say it but you can see it in my eyes
you drink because you're lonely
You drink because you are 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 have wished
When I was young
I drink because I've drunk my days away
I tried to live like Hemingway
but life doesn't work that way
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
What if it's over and we're sober and we still feel like we are fixing to die
what then?
Don't say it because I can see it in your eyes.
Next round is on me.
