Modern Day Ballad

Well your breath

It reaks of alcohol

But your smile

Reaks of happiness

You're happy

But that's what cheap wine

Does to the best of us

By the 5th glass your giddy

6th glass you can't be serious

And you're no longer witty

Now I'm getting rather furious

This is a modern day ballad

For the modern day 21st century

We take what we can get

And we drink

What we can put down

And this is

Nothing but a failed attempt

To tell you how I'm feeling

But if the stars fall down

And the sun burns out

Then at least you'll know

I'm dealing with you and him

Na, na, na, na, na

And now

You're sleeping rather softly

But I guess that's expected

And he's by your side

And you're on my mind

And I swear I never meant it

If I ever told anyone

I needed you

(I needed you, I needed you)

You drink too much

And you try to hard

And I lied before I need you
