"Alcohol" lyrics

You fall asleep with the damage in the room
And I can't escape the stranger living under your skin
Who's this I see
You're not the man that fell in love with me

I can't pretend anymore
It's tragic, like when a Shakespeare play comes to the end
It's intoxicating me

So go ahead, take her to your bed
Tell her all your fears and let her kiss your lips
Dead, swimming 'round your head
Drowning out the days that we made love
It's all in my heart, and I'm losing all control
'Cause you gave away your soul to the alcohol
To the alcohol

The dreams we had
They build me up and knock me 'round
I can't decide whether it's better to let you fall down
I'm not so good with your self-inflicted pain, ooh

I can't pretend anymore
You're tragic, and it's a Shakespeare play come to the end
You're gonna die from what you need

So go ahead, take her to your bed
Tell her all your fears and let her kiss your lips
Dead, swimming 'round your head
Drowning out the days that we made love
It's all in my heart, and I'm losing all control
'Cause you gave away your soul to the alcohol

White ghost
A vision of yourself
A fraction of yourself
It's the other side of you
While I was suffocating and feeling isolated
I never see your truth anymore

So go ahead, take her to your bed
Tell her all your fears and let her kiss your lips
Dead, swimming 'round your head
Drowning out the days that we made love
It's all in my heart, and I'm losing all control
'Cause you gave away your soul to the alcohol

So go ahead, take her to your bed
Tell her all your fears and let her kiss your lips
Dead, swimming 'round your head
Drowning out the days that we made love
It's all in my heart, and I'm losing all control
'Cause you gave away your soul to the alcohol
