I woke up one morning and I didn't get myself a beer To start drinking every day is my biggest fear So I wait until the late afternoon Can I start drinking yet, is it nighttime soon? And I understand if you wanna leave I would leave myself if I could But just promise me That when you leave, you leave for good I'll never love you like I should I really thought that we were meant to be Until I heard myself say "it's not you, it's me" When will I stop acting like the shitty men I hate? Will I learn to trust myself or is it too late? And I understand if you wanna leave I would leave myself if I could But just promise me That when you leave, you leave for good I'll never love you like I should So I'll just keep on drinking like you said I would I know that you are sad because of me But it makes me glad to think that you are free Of all the pain and all the darkness I have caused I hope you find a brighter way when I get lost And I understand why you wanna leave I would leave myself if I could But just promise me That when you leave, you leave for good I'll never love you like I should So I'll just keep on drinking like you said I would 'Cause I'll never love you like I should
