Why I Drink

The only reason i sleep on the couch

Is I have drank too much wine

And I want you to sleep in peace. 

You’re trouble 

In the waking hours

And that’s why I drink

The buzz in the alcohol 

Tunes you out

You’re a crazy mother fucker

I should quit you both

The only reason that I’m still with you

It’s just full of lies and crimes 

I want a simple release. 

You are tragic

Every day you’re with me 

And that’s why I drink

The buzz in the alcohol 

Tunes you out

You’re a crazy mother fucker

I should quit you both

But one at a time

These addictions

Should simmer

But one at a time

Our “love” and “that”

Should simmer 

You are simple so

I shouldn’t acknowledge 

You are why I drink. 

The buzz in the alcohol 

Tunes you out

You’re a crazy mother fucker

I should quit you both
