Drunk At the Bar

One drink two drink three drink four Shot after shot, bartender pours and pours Drown me in my sorrows Cocktails I need more Until I’m stumbling to the door Or drunk passed out on the floor. Erasing my memories With every single sip My body tingling, I’m flirting With all the waiters on this shift I’m mingling, I love All this attention that I get But deep inside, I almost died I’m dangling off of a cliff. I’m drinking I’m drinking I’m dying with every sip I’m crying I’m replying To these messages that I get I’m drinking to ease my mind I’m trying with every bit One drink two drinks Of Hawaiian Midori sips But the waiters is going home The bar starting to close My memories is coming back I don’t know how I’m a get home I call a cab, he takes me away I’m answering my phone I tried to escape my memories But my memories brought me back home.
