The poison makes it's way through my body slowly And to the pleasure centers of my brain If you were here, I would admit that I'm an asshole But now it's over; and I can't stay sober Thought it isn't like I tried On the front porch, or on an airplane on vacation Or out to dinner in a nearby town I was so proud just to have you sitting with me But now it's over; and I can't stay sober Pour and swallow, follow one drink with another I'll keep on until you agree to come back over Or until there are x's on my eyes My old man always said that hell would have no flame Just a front row seat to watch your true love pack her things and drive away
