"sober" lyrics

We all know the ending to this story
I'm learning how to hide
Behind these bloodshot eyes
Every night just bleeds into the morning
The poison likes to linger on my breath

I'm stumbling around my room
Half past noon
Hoping I can make it back soon
Maybe I can sober up for real

Cause everybody knows that I'm sideways
I just wanna go to my sad place
Your never gonna get me out of here

So I'll drink till it's over
Cause baby, it hurts so good
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna wear you out
When I get sober
I wanna get close to you
I would want to weigh you down
Wanna weigh you down

I could lay my cards out on the table
Sacrifice the highs
And find a friendly vice
I'll find my higher power getting stable
But the poison likes to linger on my breath

Cause everybody knows that I'm sideways
I just wanna go to my sad place
Your never gonna get me out of here

So I'll drink till it's over
Cause baby, it hurts so good
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna wear you out
When I get sober
I wanna get close to you
I would want to weigh you down
Wanna weigh you down
