Drinking to Forget
I tried really hard
To mask my emotion
But I must have lost that
When you lost your devotion
So I put on more color
And sell off my hearse
And tell myself others
Have been through much worse
And all that gold glitters
But that glitter, it ain’t gold
It’s just pyrite resembling
The love that you sold
So I reach for the comfort
Knowing I’ll never get it
And wish I could undo it all
But I’d just regret it
The world just moved on
And I’m stuck in slow motion
As dumb as a rock
But as deep as the ocean
And I’m still choking up
Some of that slimy love potion
Nostalgia’s a bitch
And a dumb worn out notion
And I tend to wonder
How cold was your heart?
It was warm for another
I guess that’s the worst part
So I reach for the comfort
Knowing I’ll never get it
If I kill enough brain cells
Maybe I’ll just forget it
I’m drinking to forget you
To forget what I’ve been through
And the lessons I’ve learned I don’t regret
But for awhile let’s just forget
So tell me why don’t you die
When I try to kill em’ with fire, try to kill em’ with fire
Try to kill em’ with fire, try to kill em’ with fire
The memories never die
When I try to kill em’ with fire, try to kill em’ with fire
Try to kill em’ with fire, try to kill em’ with fire, ya
