"Die A Drunk" lyrics

I think it's finally time I get fully sober
I spent 100 mornings saying the same thing over and over
A pounding head
A night of regrets
And they're placing bets
On when I'll lose my cool

Can't keep going like this, I can't repeat the cycle
My dad he's sober now
But his dad could never give it up

I can't die a drunk
I spent too long cutting in my tongue
On bottles made a glass
This low ain't meant to last

I am nothing like him
Say it twice so I will buy it
Passing down the shame
That's buried in my name

But somewhere in my blood
No I know
I won't die a drunk

Now I'm 24
But somehow I can't remember when I lost my self-control
Along with everything I am
Now I know what it takes to break a man
All alone with a drink in his hand

I can't die a drunk
Spent too long cutting in my tongue
On bottles made a glass
This low ain't meant to last

I am nothing like him
Say it twice so I will buy it
Passing down the shame
That's buried in my name

But somewhere in my blood
No I know
I won't die a drunk

Far too long, far too long
Trying to hold myself together
When I get older I'll get better
Is what I told myself
And it seemed to help
Though I know it probably shouldn't
Because I became the man I said I wouldn't

I can't die a drunk
Spent too long cutting in my tongue
On bottles made a glass
This low ain't meant to last

I am nothing like him
Say it twice so I will buy it
Passing down the shame
That's buried in my name

But somewhere in my blood
No I know
I won't die a drunk
