am i better off dead am i better off a quitter
they say i’m better off now than i ever was with her
as they take me to my local down the street
i’m smiling but i’m dying trying not to drag my feet
they say a few drinks will help me to forget her
but after one too many i know that i’m never
only they can’t see where this is gonna end
they all think i’m crazy but to me it’s perfect sense
and my mates are all there trying to calm me down
’cause i’m shouting your name all over the town
i’m swearing if i go there now
i can change her mind turn it all around
and i know that i’m drunk but i’ll say the words
and she’ll listen this time even though they’re slurred
so i dialed her number and confessed to her
i’m still in love but all i heard was nothing
so i stumble there along the railings and the fences
i know if i faced her face that she’ll come to her senses
every drunk step i take leads me to her door
if she sees how much i’m hurting she’ll take me back for sure
and my mates are all there trying to calm me down
’cause i’m shouting your name all over the town
i’m swearing if i go there now
i can change her mind turn it all around
and i know that i’m drunk but i’ll say the words
and she’ll listen this time even though they’re slurred
so i dialed her number and confessed to her
i’m still in love but all i heard was nothing
post
she said nothing
oh i wanted words but all i heard was nothing
oh i got nothing
i got nothing
oh i wanted words but all i heard was nothing
ohh sometimes love’s intoxicating
ohh you’re coming down your hands are shaking
when you realize there’s no one waiting
interlude
