Drink You Away lyrics

Bittersweet thing

Could this be a dream

Or just the same nightmare that keeps me awake?

Feel it in my brain

A tall shot of pain

Pour a little out now for the love that we've made.

I feel it in the morning

You’re still here in the morning

I see you but you're gone

Telephone the doctor: "I’m not okay!"

The bottom of the bottle

To fill this empty heart up

A thousand proof

Don’t change the truth

I tried it but I can’t.

[Chorus:]

I can’t drink you away

I’ve tried Jack, I’ve tried Jim

I’ve tried all of their friends

But I can’t drink you away

All these rocks

I can’t swim out of this skin

I'm living in

Say

Now tell me, baby, don't they make a medicine for heart break, ooh?

Tell me, baby, oh, yeah, now don't they make a medicine for heart break?

Got a pounding on my brain

So I drowned it away

When the sun comes up tomorrow you can find me doing the same

'Cause I just can’t forget

The way we turned out this bad

And now the only thing that sleeps here is a ghost of you instead.

I feel it in the morning.

You’re still here in the morning

I see you but you're gone

Telephone a doctor: I’m not okay

The bottom of the bottle

To fill this empty heart up

A thousand proof

Don’t change the truth

I tried it but I can’t.

[Chorus:]

I can’t drink you away

I’ve tried Jack, I’ve tried Jim

I’ve tried all of their friends

But I can’t drink you away

All these rocks

I can’t swim out of this skin

I'm living in

Say

Now tell me, baby, don't they make a medicine for heart break, ooh?

Tell me, baby, one time, c'mon, don't they make a medicine for heart break?

Break it down.

I can’t drink you, no, I can’t drink you away, away

I can’t drink you, I can’t drink you away, away

I can’t drink you, I can’t drink you away, away

Oh, I can’t drink you, no, I can’t drink you away, away.

[Chorus:]

I can’t drink you away

I’ve tried Jack, I’ve tried Jim

I’ve tried all of their friends

But I can’t drink you away

All these rocks

I can’t swim out of this skin

I'm living in

Say

So tell me, baby, don't they make a medicine for heart break (don't they, don't they, tell me, baby)?

Oh, tell me baby, one time, don't they make a medicine for heart break, yeah?

Oh, yeah, tell me, baby, can't they make a medicine for my heart break, heart break?

Tell me, baby, yeah, can't they make a medicine for my heart break?

I can’t drink you away

I’ve tried Jack, I’ve tried Jim

I’ve tried all of their friends

But I can’t drink you away

All these rocks

I can’t swim out of this skin

I'm living in.
