lyrics

Clean words, talk softer
I know I lost her
But alcohol brings pigs to slaughter
And I shout words that won't bounce off her

Soft words, hard liquor
She's gone, I'm bitter
But those dark eyes that always fit her
Are probably staring at my picture

Just leave me alone

You can drink yourself unconscious
It's just another empty promise
When your friends say you're over it with every shot
I'm at the bottom of this bottle, and my heart is in the last drop
There's nothing wrong with the way I live
You take and take, but you never give
I'm feeling sober for the first time in three whole years
I'll drown myself in alcohol and make you disappear

We said, "Forever"
We'd be together
We proudly failed in that endeavor
And you must think you're pretty clever

We'll see who's laughing
When I'm still happy
The smile I wear is not just acting
I'm better now it must be baffling

Just leave me alone

You can drink yourself unconscious
It's just another empty promise
When your friends say you're over it with every shot
I'm at the bottom of this bottle, and my heart is in the last drop
There's nothing wrong with the way I live
You take and take, but you never give
I'm feeling sober for the first time in three whole years
I'll drown myself in alcohol and make you disappear

And to you, I'm just a memory
And to me, I just gave everything
Just leave me alone

You can drink yourself unconscious
It's just another empty promise
When your friends say you're over it with every shot
I'm at the bottom of this bottle, and my heart is in the last drop
There's nothing wrong with the way I live
You take and take, but you never give
I'm feeling sober for the first time in three whole years
I'll drown myself in alcohol and make you disappear
So just leave me alone
