I like to drink poison for fun
I just need another night, just one
so I can remember the feel of your fingertips
without alcohol on my lips

I like to make my lungs burn
each inhale is another lesson learned
that I'm trying to forget
no matter of drugs or drinks
will bring you back to me

smoke rings in the dark
different liquors, shot after shot
I hope my insides rot

I wish you were by my side
finding comfort in sleep when you sigh
but instead my sheets are cold
and this burning hurt is getting old

sometimes, I almost call you
I don't have the nerve,
I know what you would do
you would ignore me just like you used to

my drunken self feels so light
my memory is stuck on that last night
you told me that you found someone new
that I deserved someone better than you
and that surely I'd find someone again soon

it's been six months now
no one here to comfort me
because it's something I won't allow
never tell a girl who loves you to find better
they'll just end up intoxicated and bitter
