Drinkin' Too Much

(albüm: Southside - 2020)

Pour one drink and take a sip of it
Feeling like a hypocrite
Couple more and I won't give a shit
I never used to talk, I never used to talk like this

I'm sorry I named the album Montevallo
And I'm sorry people know your name now and strangers hit you up on social media
I'm sorry you can't listen to the radio
Or drive out to the place where we used to get peaches down in Pelham
I know you want your privacy and you got nothing to say to me
But I wish you'd let me pay off your student loans with these songs you gave to me
Remember the first time you stayed with me?
Overpacked and drove up and went to the CMA's with me
Two years later, it felt like you were a million miles away from me
And I was the one on stage drunk, barely holding on, on ABC
Hope your dad still prays for me

Drinking too much, drinking too much
Since you've been gone, I can't get gone enough
I'm on top of the world, I'm going down
I'ma drink it all 'til you're not around

Drinking too much, drinking too much
Since you've been gone, I can't get gone enough
I'm on top of the world, I'm going down
I'ma drink it all till you're not around

A year ago, I was in a hotel room in Phoenix, wondering if it's ever ok to lie
Because I knew the truth would make you want to die
But I told you everything, you told me to "Have a good life"
But you still couldn't believe it was really goodbye
Every night you'd fill the bathtub up, lie there for hours, put your face underwater and cry
I never wanted to be a heartbreaker, turn your sisters and their friends into matchmakers
I know you think my dreams came true, since you've been gone, singing these songs is just something to do
The only dream I ever had was you
I hope you know I'm still in love, it's the kind that you can't fall out of

Drinking too much, drinking too much
Since you've been gone, I can't get gone enough
I'm on top of the world, I'm going down
I'ma drink it all till you're not around

Drinking too much, drinking too much
Since you've been gone, I can't get gone enough
I'm on top of the world and I'm going down
I'ma drink it all till you're not around

I know this might seem like a contradiction
And the last thing you need is more unwanted attention
But you changed your number and moved and this is the only way I could reach you
So wherever you are, turn it up and listen

Hannah Lee, I'm on my way to you
Nobody can love you like I do
I don't know what I'ma say to you
But I know there ain't no way
Know there ain't no way
Know there ain't no way we're through
