Sober
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Gone, guess that good old feeling's gone
Shoulda known that you were wrong for me
Wrong for me, wrong
Now that I'm sober
My temperature's a little colder
I see it clearly now, I only fell for you
'Cause I was young, dumb and broken
I hate being sober
My hands are shaking and the nights are lonely
I put my body and my soul through hell for you
Why does it hurt that it's over?
I've been drunk for three years and fifteen days
All that perfume that you wear
And that good look on your face
I ignored all my worst fears
And now this liquor won't chase
The thought of you from my head
My mouth still stings from the taste of it
Now that I'm sober
My temperature's a little colder
I see it clearly now, I only fell for you
'Cause I was young, dumb and broken
I hate being sober
My hands are shaking and the nights are lonely
I put my body and my soul through hell for you
Why does it hurt that it's over?
Don't know why I'm still crying
It's not like you're wide awake
Why am I tossing back whiskey?
I should be popping champagne
And I would swallow my pride
'Cause I know what I gave
Why should I poison myself
To try and fix your mistakes?
Now that I'm sober
My temperature's a little colder
I see it clearly now, I only fell for you
'Cause I was young, dumb and broken
I hate being sober
My hands are shaking and the nights are lonely
I put my body and my soul through hell for you
Why does it hurt that it's over?
Gone, guess that good old feeling's gone
Shoulda known that you were wrong for me
Wrong for me, wrong
Gone, guess that good old feeling's gone
Shoulda known that you were wrong for me
Wrong for me, wrong
Now that I'm sober
My temperature's a little colder
I see it clearly now, I only fell for you
'Cause I was young, dumb and broken
I hate being sober
My hands are shaking and the nights are lonely
I put my body and my soul through hell for you
Why does it hurt that it's over?
Gone, guess that good old feeling's gone
Shoulda known that you were wrong for me
Wrong for me, wrong
Gone, guess that good old feeling's gone
Shoulda known that you were wrong for me
Wrong for me, wrong
