I drink all the pain away
Pretend it's from yesterday
I fade to sleep
Drunk and counting sheep
Wake up remembering
What I was trying to forget
Shed tears and become upset
Go to school
With a big fake smile
Keep my tears in for a while
Go back home
So sad and all alone
Laying in bed
Wishing I was dead
Trying to drink by myself away
So I no longer have to stay
Alcohol is how I forget
Maybe it's only for seconds
But I still forget
Each night I drink and drink
Until my heart starts to sink
After I start to cry
I stop drinking and say goodbye
I go to bed and try to sleep
But after I drink I start to think deep
All those thoughts always keep me up
Maybe one night
I'll drink enough
To where I fall asleep
I never wake up...
