if I tell you I've been drinking will you count it as a slight
and question every word that I have said to you tonight
I may have sipped enough to tempt regret for all it's worth
but there is nothing left of my emotions to disturb
I've watched another person walk the way that I once did
and took it as a lesson to leave all of me unhid
the openness reduces any falseness that exists
and puts me face to face with the reality of it
I think I should've waited to be what I was to you
allowed myself to recognize the lie I took as truth
the world that we've created is completely all our own
and I can't seem to find a way to make it out alone
