Just One Sip
One single sip travels down your throat
Feels so snug and your feelings so amazing
One sip hides the pain it always does
One sip cures it all but only for one night.
One sip can change everything completely
One sip isn't “just one sip” it never has been, it never will be
“Just one sip”
My Love changed forever after “just one sip”
Just one sip was poison to my love
My family disappeared after “just one sip”
All my friends GONE after “just one sip”!
There are always tears falling down my face the day after i say i'll only take just one sip
One sip isn't “just one sip” it never has been, it never will be.
All i can do is beg for everyone's forgiveness that deep down i know i'll never received once again
Because it wasn't “just one sip”!
It was many many sips after that!
And after that!
And it was always “this will be the last time”
“This is the last one i swear!
I remember those words leaving my wet drunk lips and i remember telling myself “this is actually going to be the last one”
But those drunk soft lips saying words led to more and more
THEN MORE AND MORE!
Until one night i finally snapped
My drunk soft lips began speaking words of untruths to strangers who looked at me like i was insane
Maybe i really was insane or maybe i'm just trying to hide the pain!
Hiding the pain with “Just one sip”
Now i'm just feeling lonely and lost as i look around to see absolutely none to bring me home or even care about me a little bit, EVERYONE IS GONE!
Everyone left
All because i decided to pick up that glass
Why am i so stupid!?
I call myself ignorant!
I call myself weak, all i see when i look in the mirror isn't who i wanna be
Who i wanna be isn't who i am
Who i am isn't what i want right now
“Just one sip” “just one more sip” “last one i promise” ENOUGH!
