Party Animal

I spent so long going out drinking to appear cool Trying to impress others, but I finally see I was thinking like a fool I became richer once I let go of what I used to think was valuable I've had my fair share of fun, but I'm done with being a party animal I've spent one too many nights in clubs Mind telling me to drink and be promiscuous as my heart fights with love the only way to get over her is to get under another a night to have a drink and fun and another to recover No mixer, I'm paying extra to have brandy filled to the top of my glass Dancing with girls as I sip it slow Ignoring my mind as it tells me I should have gone down a different road No one will know about my worries as I've got on my mask Going to bed stupidly late and waking up early Vodka and brandy are my friends as I'm taking this journey I'm dancing and laughing like I've never been hurt But it's starting to become clear that breaking up hurt me I'm acting like I don't care, but I'm losing the ability to hide it I deleted her number, but she posted a picture and I liked it I need to let go as we both have separate plans I'm not a bad guy, but I can be a better man I need to focus on myself, so no more drinking to look cool My smartest moment was admitting I'd been thinking like a fool I'm a lot richer now I've let go of what I used to think was valuable It's time to work on myself and take a break from being a party animal
