When I was Drinking (Messé)


when i was drinking

when i was with you
			
living it up when the rent was due
		 	   
with nothing and no one to live up to 
		
you and me dying on the vine
		
holding hands and drinking wine
			    	      	 	
now i'm not the same girl i left behind with you 


twelve bars behind us
and twelve bars to go
bottles of beer lined up in a row
one for each hour you didn't show 
you and me dying everyday
getting high just to pass away
but that's not the reason i couldn't stay with you 

now i am sober
now i'm alone
three years have gone by since you have gone
letting you go, letting me go on 
but i'll raise a glass now to you and me
to to lift me higher so i can see
which of these blessings are killing me
