Dear Alcohol

[00:28.65] I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight

[00:33.18] My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright

[00:37.43] I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize

[00:41.68] I got wasted

[00:44.34] I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight

[00:49.91] My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright

[00:52.31] I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize

[00:56.29] I got wasted

[00:59.22] My life been gettin' sorta crazy, and I don't wanna think

[01:06.14] I look myself right in the mirror, and I don't even blink

[01:10.38] Then I get angry, take the rest, and pour it right in the sink

[01:13.83] I know where this road goes

[01:16.77] Alcohol ain't my friend, but I keep drinkin' 'cause these demons roam

[01:19.42] And follow me 'round everywhere I go

[01:21.54] It clouds my mind and soul, it turns my heart cold

[01:25.00] But I keep drinkin' 'cause it makes me feel like I'm not alone

[01:29.78] I'm havin' problems, my pride won't let me reach out

[01:33.49] Lookin' at this bottle, havin' nothin' but doubt

[01:36.94] Don't wanna drink, but it keeps comin' around and around and around

[01:42.53] I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight

[01:47.04] My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright

[01:50.76] I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize

[01:55.28] I got wasted

[01:57.41] I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight

[02:01.95] My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright

[02:06.19] I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize

[02:09.92] I got wasted

[02:13.10] I know I need to quit (I need to quit)

[02:15.50] I gotta do better (I gotta do better)

[02:19.21] Example to these kids ('xample to these kids)

[02:22.66] 'Cause they watchin' when I'm there, but I'm scared

[02:26.65] 'Cause I've been chasin' the man that I am when I start to drink

[02:30.38] He's cocky confident, and he don't give a damn what you think

[02:34.10] This world is beatin' me down, and it's pushed me right to brink

[02:37.82] I take a shot every time because, man, it helps me escape

[02:41.80] I'm takin' care of these people, but no one takes care of me

[02:45.52] I want to talk to somebody, but I feel no one relates

[02:49.26] I need better now, I think I've lost my way

[02:52.72] I'm havin' battles with faith, it's painted right on my face

[02:57.23] I hope better times are comin', no chase, but I'm still runnin'

[03:02.54] I gotta take control, and I won't stop for nothin'

[03:04.67] Dear, God, this is my test, promise that I'll do my best

[03:08.12] Just help with this pain I feel, and pressure that is on my chest

[03:11.57] I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight

[03:15.56] My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright

[03:19.54] I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize

[03:23.79] I got wasted

[03:25.92] I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight

[03:30.44] My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright

[03:34.43] I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize

[03:39.48] I got wasted
