How To Drown a Broken Heart...
It seems fitting
To reach for the bottle
That's what society tells you to do
When your life is in free fall
You either starve yourself or reach for the bottle
Its really up to you
I can do both
Keeping up my appearance
Slim girl, a mind sharp as a knife
Only tonight if they could see me
They'd take more time and care
To tell people how to live their life
The drink seems to favour
A few, a few more
The pain is beginning to disappear
But its a false sense of security
Tomorrow I will wake up
With the same pain, hurt and fear
Starve myself for the day
Just to undo the calories
Given to the night before
Then realise
It's midday
I can't get out the door
So I down another drink
And wait for the facade
To ready and start
Lesson one
In how to drown
Drown a broken heart...
