Caroline, I'm drunk again
Caroline, I'm stuck again
I can't put the bottle down
I can't take off my self absorbed crown
Under my halo I don't see clear
Under my heart there's no God near
Caroline, I'm drunk again
Caroline, how did this happen

Caroline, I'm screaming this isn't living
Caroline, why can't I stop drinking
My eyes are full of regret
My eyes are full of glossy red
This life is empty of truth
This heart is empty of you
Caroline, why can't I stop drinking
Caroline, my ship is sinking

Caroline, have we been here before
Caroline, I'm tired of liquor stores
I spilled whiskey on our love letters
I spilled whiskey on the chance of forever
I thought I drank away your name
I thought I drank away the pain
Caroline, I'm tired of liquor stores
Caroline, I don't want to hurt anymore

Caroline, I'm fading into the neon light
Caroline, I'm writing you this last time
I wasn't stronger than the bourbon
I wasn't stronger than the Sunday morning sermon
It's getting dark I fear
It's getting dark without your smile dear
Caroline, I'm writing you this last time
Caroline, I'm wasted over wasted life

Caroline, remember me before it all went bad
Caroline, remember me before I made you sad
Your fingers still stain my skin
Your lips taste better than the gin
Keep me like I kept you in my heart
So drunk from your love I drank us apart
Caroline, I'm sorry I couldn't make my way back
Caroline, you were the best buzz I ever had
