Thanks Catie. I know I know the last verse sounds off but it sounds better when sung. It's a song about being in pain and thinking of all the sayings people give you when you are going through a hard time. Hence the being drunk at the end. But I read it again before reading your comment and thought the same thing:) I guess I can get away with it more so musically.
