Lyrics
Drinkin' Down You
Got your suitcase by the door.
Said you were gone you couldn't take it anymore.
I can't imagine how we got this way.
The news hit me like the breaking of a real bad day.
Prechorus:
I am gonna miss you.
Chorus:
Time to break open the dry red wine.
Turn on some mindless news.
Finish doin' things I never thought to get to.
'Til I started drinkin' down you.
Verse 2
I know I'm hard to handle sometimes,
I'm like a wild horse left to roam.
Steering me back inside the fences of life,
Was probably best left alone.
Pre-chorus
So why do I miss you?
Chorus
Time to break open the dry red wine.
Turn on some mindless news.
Finish doin' things I never thought to get to.
'Til I started drinkin' down you.
Bridge
Of all the bad things I ever thought could happen to me,
Losin' you wasn't on that list.
But now I understand our love was something that couldn't last forever,
Like a broken, old picture frame that can't be fixed.
Prechorus
But I am still missin' you.
Chorus
I'm still breakin' open the dry, red wine.
I'm keepin' on that mindless news.
Thinkin' up things to try and get me through,
Drinkin' down you.
Are you doin' the same thing too?
I'm just sittin' here drinkin...
Down you.
