I wanna be drunk when I wake up
On the right side of the wrong bed
And never an excuse I made up
Tell you the truth, I hate what
Didn't kill me, it never made me stronger at all
Love will scar your makeup, lip sticks to me
So now I'll maybe lean back there
I'm sat here, wishing I was sober
I know I'll never hold you like I used to
But a house gets cold when you cut the heating
Without you to hold, I'll be freezing
Can't rely on my heart to beat in
'Cause you take parts of it every evening
Take words out of my mouth just from breathing
Replace with phrases like, "When you leaving me?"
Should I? Should I?
Maybe I'll get drunk again
I'll be drunk again
I'll be drunk again
To feel a little love
I wanna hold your heart in both hands
Not watch it fizzle at the bottom of a Coke can
And I've got no plans for the weekend
So should we speak then?
Keep it between friends?
Though I know you'll never love me like you used to
There may be other people like us
Who see the flicker of a clipper when they light up
Flames just create us
Burns don't heal like before
And you don't hold me anymore
On cold days, cold plays out like the band's name
I know I can't heal things with a handshake
You know I can change, as I began saying
You cut me wide open like a landscape
Open bottles of beer but never champagne
To applaud you with the sound that my hands make
Should I? Should I?
Maybe I'll get drunk again
I'll be drunk again
I'll be drunk again
To feel a little love
All by myself
I'm here again
All by myself
You know I'll never change
All by myself
All by myself
I'm just drunk again
I'll be drunk again
I'll be drunk again
To feel a little love
