Told You I Could Drink

(album: Cross Country - 2022)

Bought a drink for you back on the night that I met you
Pop some cheap champagne when the first ball dropped, mmh
Couple shots when I first said, "I think that I love you", oh
And you must've had a couple when you said, "Get lost", yeah

Now that it's over, did you think I'd be sober?
It may sound harsh but I've always been this way

Told you I could drink, told you I'd be fine
Told you I would move on if you left me behind
'Cause you pushed me to the brink and I don't got no time
To sit around and wait for you to make up your mind
I drink you under the table, out of my head
Over the memories of you in my bed
And honestly, just what else did you think
When I told you I could drink?

Oh, yeah

Got around with the boys when they heard I was solo, yeah
A double shot and some Coke in a solo cup
Oh, ain't no bar in this town that I found that I won't go
Well, you could take the high road but it don't hold up

Yeah, I told you I could drink, told you I'd be fine
I told you I would move on if you left me behind
'Cause you pushed me to the brink and I don't got no time
To sit around and wait for you to make up your mind
I drink you under the table, out of my head
Over the memories of you in my bed
And honestly, just what else did you think
When I told you I could drink?

I told you I can drink

Now that it's over, did you think I'd be sober?
It may sound harsh but I've always been this way

I told you I could drink, I told you I'd be fine
I told you I would move on if you left me behind
'Cause you pushed me to the brink and I don't got no time
To sit around and wait for you to make up your mind
I drink you under the table, out of my head
Over the memories of you in my bed
And honestly, just what else did you think
When I told you I could drink?

I thought I told you I could drink
I thought I told you
When I told you I could drink
Whoa, I told you I could drink
Oh, oh
