Lyrics

CHORUS
You used to say there'd come a day when you and I had to part
Show me the door let's not start a war
But don't lose the key to my heart.

I don't understand why you've been crying
I give you all the loving that I can
You say that your love for me is dying
I'm just a selfish solitary man
I just need some independence
I just need a little time to think it through
I just need to drink down this bottle
And I just don't need this attitude from you

CHORUS

Girl it's hard to smile when you're not earning
And debt collectors treat you like a thief
You tell them your life story in a moment
But they've heard it all before
There's no relief
They just list down all your possessions
And they tell you got fourteen days to pay
So I'll just drink down this other bottle
In the hope that it'll wash them all away

CHORUS

Sinking ships are often found deserted
If we jump we just both survive
Let's give it up right now before it kills us
And take the chance to start two separate lives
So I'll just drink down this other bottle
I'm just drinking to your health before I go
And I'll always be thinking about you
I still want you I just wanted you to know.

CHORUS

Don't lose the keys to my heart
