When You're Drinking

We've been down this road before
How many times am I gonna have to close that door?
When you've had wine, and you're lonely
Why is that the only time you ever want me?
You can call me an ex
When you hang out with friends
You can call me on a Sunday
Just to ask me how I've been
You can call me almost anytime
'Cept when you're under neon lights
'Cause you say you love me
And we know you don't mean it
So just don't call me when you're drinking
Just don't call me when you're drinking
'Cause I'll pick up and you'll Uber here
We'll do what we always do and you'll disappear
Then I'll wake up, still holding on
To something that I'll only have
Till you're sober and you're gone
You can call me an ex
When you hang out with friends
You can call me on a Sunday
Just to ask me how I've been
You can call me almost anytime
'Cept when you're under neon lights
'Cause you say you love me
And we know you don't mean it
So just don't call me when you're drinking
'Cause I'll start thinking
That this time you really need me
My heart won't learn the lesson
That you're always gonna leave me
You can call me an ex
When you hang out with friends
You can call me on a Sunday
Just to ask me how I've been
You can call me almost anytime
'Cept when you're under neon lights
'Cause you say you love me
And we know you don't mean it
So just don't call me when you're drinking
Just don't call me when you're drinking
