"Sober (Stripped)" lyrics

"Sober (Stripped)"

I'm in the kitchen, 20 to midnight
I just got home and I hear my phone
Oh, I see it on the piano ringing
I see your name, I slide left to speak
Then five minutes later, I'm in my car
And I'm on my way over
You've been drinking or you would have called her
You never need me whenever you're sober

Oh, why'd I stay?
To entertain your same old ways
'Cause I just listen and I just trust ya
'Cause you're too wasted and I'm too sober
No way, get out
I'm screaming to myself right now
'Cause you say nice things and I just trust ya
'Cause you're too wasted and I'm too sober

I'm in your kitchen, quarter to 3
My tears they are falling, you will not catch them
Why'd I ignore my friends and the warnings?
I'm so stupid, you start to snore now
This is my own fault
I'm running out of excuses to blame you
Why do I run when you're crying the wolf song?
I'm losing track of the nights that I gave you

No, why'd I stay?
To entertain your same old ways
'Cause I just listen and I just trust ya
But you're too wasted and I'm too sober
No way, get out
I'm screaming to myself right now
'Cause you say nice things and I just trust ya
'Cause you're too wasted and I'm too sober

Driving home
I decide to play Gloria Gaynor
'Cause I will survive
No more of you, I have made my mind up

Now I won't stay
To entertain your same old ways
And I won't listen and I won't trust ya
And you'll stay wasted and I'll be sober
Oh I'm out, I'm screaming to myself right now
'Cause you're a liar and I don't want ya
You'll stay wasted and I'll be sober
From you
