Drowning My Sorrows

I read the letter through a haze of alcohol

A close encounter with the weak and pitiful

Although my conscience said "she's absolutely right"

The thought was buried in the blindness of the night

I'm free at last

I'm drinking to the past

Those best-forgotten memories are fading fast

And now I'm drowning my sorrows

Here's to you

Dreams of love are finally through

And when I'm frowning my sorrows

Life is sweet

The bitter world is an echo in my heartbeat

The chair is empty where I slaved my years away

Please save your tears for someone else's rainy day

Where once your picture stood, a bottle's in it's place

Another chapter in my epic fall form grace

I can't believe

That you are so naive

To think that losing you would give me cause to grieve

I thought you really loved me

But what am I gonna do know you are gone

The nights are long

And when the stars are gone

I stagger to my sense and I carry on
