I Drink Alone lyrics

I drink alone And drown in sins That I can't disown I frown upon The path I hath gone The booze kills thee And thee within me In woe forlorn So I drink alone I drink alone, I drink alone I drink alone, I drink alone I'm whiskey bent, hellbound, fool-crowned A lot of love I lost, a lot of lust I found But the ones that I loved never stuck around Her heart was closed, her legs were not Her cheating heart, made mine stop (The) bed can be filled with anyone The heart does not (so) we stay alone Spit upon and cheated on, so I tried to carry on Tried to slay bad dreams away The echoes of her love's decay I hear the bells that call for me I crave their sound like once I craved thee I drink alone Curse your cologne That once you hath worn (It) lingers adorn On my skin as thorn So I shall mourn Your treacherous scorn My love's stillborn So I drink alone I was somewhen, you went somewhere And in the end, we got nowhere I killed more than I received I thought I've won, but self-deceived I chose the booze, and then myself And put the pain upon a shelf Alas, do not drink to forget It sinks just deeper into you If I cannot be close to you I'll settle for the ghost of you For how much longer I've to live To forget, to forgive? The less I know, in peace I sleep The less I feel, the less I weep (I) know what I know, nothing that is For all that I know, ignorance is bliss I drink alone And drown in sins That I can't disown I frown upon The path I hath gone The booze kills thee And thee within me I'll be reborn So I drink alone
