Drinking on Your Own

Getting in trouble, knuckles are red Punched the door again, a new dent was left Put my head through the glass to let the thoughts out fast Hoping this way of thinking, days of drinking like this won't last Talking to mates ain't helping it mend Talking to mum won't make it end In fact it makes me cry then I deny it's anything at all Just the drink talking and running my mouth again Drinking on your own don't make the world feel smaller Necking half a bottle doesn't make you any taller Buying another whiskey will only make you poorer Sore head next day won't do nothing for ya Sitting with a glass full listening to Mac Breathing in some things I really shouldn't have The drink is a vice, a crutch I lean on too much When I want to forget who I am for a while Half a bottle deep in a litre of Jack Half a bottle more until my mind goes blank Then I won't care or have to bear or shoulder all this weight That's pressing down on me, stressing me out relentlessly Lying on the bed, the room begins to spin Pain in my tummy is my liver giving in But actually it's bliss release, a moment of peace, it's thought police With no capacity left to think, no desire left to drink Drinking on your own don't make the world feel smaller Necking half a bottle doesn't make you any taller Buying another whiskey will only make you poorer Sore head next day won't do nothing for ya Sitting with a glass full listening to Mac Breathing in some things I really shouldn't have The drink is a vice, a crutch I lean on too much When I want to forget who I am for a while You sway on the spot chugging your tenth pint of the night Watching your best mate hugging the love of his life thinking God how I want that, I want that She'll be the one to make me cry Crack me up with laughter all the time She'll bring out the best side of mine When we disagree, when we don't see eye to eye She won't love me for money or wealth She'll hold my hand through sickness and health She'll teach me what it means to live She'll be the one I want to grow old with She'll be protective, jealous as well She'll make my life hectic, heaven and hell She'll understand when I don't speak She'll know from my eyes just what I mean When I'm red with rage or high on life She'll match my level of intensity just right End of the day we lie down side by side She'll prefer the left, so I shall take the right My evening press ups by the bed they make her laugh I'm doing it to impress her she knows this she's done the math Her head on my chest it rises and falls So not to disturb as I breathe in I pause In that moment, I'm in Eden I'm in Heaven with no better feeling singing God how I want that, I want that Drinking on your own don't make the world feel smaller Necking half a bottle doesn't make you any taller Buying another whiskey will only make you poorer Sore head next day won't do nothing for ya Sitting with a glass full listening to Mac Breathing in some things I really shouldn't have The drink is a vice, a crutch I lean on too much When I want to forget who I am for a while You sway on the spot chugging your tenth pint of the night Watching your best mate hugging the love of his life thinking God how I want that, I want that
