"I Hate Being Sober" lyrics

"I Hate Being Sober"

I can't drink away my problems and life been kinda tough
I can't take the pills the doctor said would help, they messed me up
And I can't smoke away the feelings, ain't no drugs
To make me numb, sometimes life is like a highway
And you don't see those headlights come

And then it hits you like a truck, hey, like a fist to the gut
Hey, leaves you choking on the dust in a pile on the side of the road
And it doesn't take much, hey, for life to fuck you up, hey

And it takes everything you got just to not get drunk or stoned
I quit getting drunk, high, out of my mind
Getting in fights on Friday nights, sometimes thought I might die
Heart was bumping, I thought my life was over
Heaven gained a stoner, as bad as it was, I hated the drugs, but

I hate being sober, I hate getting high
I hate feeling older than I look on the outside
I hate being sober, but lord I hate needing advice
I hate being sober, but it's the only way I'll stay alive

I can't drink away my issues, and trust me man, I tried
I can't bury all the things that hurt underneath little white lines
And I can't talk about what pains me, cause they just wouldn't get it
Sometimes life is like a highway, those headlights come when you least expect it

And then it hits you like a truck, hey, like a fist to the gut
Hey, leaves you choking on the dust in a pile on the side of the road
And it doesn't take much, hey, for life to fuck you up, hey

And it takes everything you got just to not get drunk or stoned
I quit getting drunk, high, out of my mind
Getting in fights on Friday nights, sometimes thought I might die
Heart was bumping, I thought my life was over
Heaven gained a stoner, as bad as it was, I hated the drugs, but

I hate being sober, I hate getting high
I hate feeling older than I look on the outside
I hate being sober, but lord I hate needing advice
I hate being sober, but it's the only way I'll stay alive
