Expensive Bourbon
The expensive bourbon doesn’t work any better
Than the cheap stuff
To get the thoughts of her
Out of my head
If only for a little while
I drink to escape how I feel for her
Knowing that I shouldn’t
Knowing that she doesn’t
But it’s nice for a while
Not to feel so bad
Not to feel so lost
Not to feel so rejected
It’s nice to feel numb
If only for a little while
Until I wake up the next day
With aching head
And a wounded heart
Looking forward to doing it again
And to drown the thoughts of her
If only for a little while
