Some Sorrows--With Music Attached

https://soundcloud.com/user-927728032/somesorrowsjustdontdrown2-by-markhallidayx

Sometimes I’m so sad,		
Other times I’m just raging mad.
The gal that said she would love me forever		
Went and left me for another.

I just hate to say		
That I feel like a damn cliché.
She double-crossed me like a low-down traitor.	
As much as I would like to amputate her,
I just can’t bring myself to hate her.

(Chorus)  
Got too much time to think,		
But not enough to drink.
Some sorrows just don’t drown. 
Some sorrows just don’t drown.
Some sorrows just don’t drown.     (pause)		
They just won’t drown.

(Bridge)  
I didn’t cheat her, I never beat her, I always treated her kind.
I took her dancing, never quit romancing; was she out of her mind?

Thinking one love’s true	
One day could be the end of you.
I smell like stale beer and yesterday’s sweat;	
Caught in a whirlpool of regret.	

(Repeat Chorus)

They just won't drown!
They just won't drown!
They just won't drown!!!

One more late Friday.		
I’ll probably drink-off Saturday.
If sober Sunday, I’ll go see the pastor		
To help me get through this disaster.		

(Repeat Chorus)
