Drink You Away

This is Shifteh

I just woke up this morning with this pain in my heart

I tried my best to make you want me, but you ripped me apart

If it's my fault, just tell me, I can live with the blame

But I can't live with loving someone who doesn't feel the same

Damn it, I'm so sick of hurting

I just feel like a burden

Who's done nothing to hurt you

Do you think I deserve for you to treat me like I'm nothing?

I'm just a stranger in public

That you don't have no reason to speak to

You're supposed to be my hero (hero)

But instead, I get zero (zero, zero)

Blood of my blood, why can't you see

That all I ever wanted was for you to love me?

Tonight I'm gonna drink you away (away)

And set myself free (free)

I can't deal with the pain (pain)

You say I'm not what you need (everybody, they)

They tell me not to cry (don't cry)

But no one understands

That I don't wanna live this life without you (without you)

But I've done all I can

Tonight I'm gonna drink (tonight I'm gon' drink)

Tonight I'm gon' drink you away

I don't care what people think (tonight I'm gon' drink)

Tonight I'm gonna drink you away (this is Shifteh, away)

If money bought love, I would save it up (up)

And give you every dime I could

Does it make you feel good to know I still care?

It hurts to know you still don't

I keep giving you chances to change, but you still don't (uh-huh)

Maybe I made a mistake

Maybe I'm one drink away from turning love into hate

When I was going through hell (hell), you wouldn't dare to help

'Cause the only person that you care about is yourself

So I'ma drink you away (away)

And set myself free (free)

I can't deal with the pain (pain)

You say I'm not what you need (everybody, they)

They tell me not to cry (don't cry)

But no one understands

That I don't wanna live this life without you (without you)

But I've done all I can

Tonight I'm gon' drink (tonight I'm gon' drink)

Tonight I'm gon' drink you away

I don't care what people think (tonight I'm gon' drink)

Tonight I'm gonna drink you away (this is Shifteh)

I hope it hurts when the church fills up (fills up)

And that little girl you used to know (you used to know)

She smiles as the veil goes up (goes up)

You try to go, but she said no (she said no)

I hope it hurts when your grandchild's born (child's born)

And that little girl that you caused pain (pain)

Picks the baby up (up), and holds it in her arms

Protects it from harm and never speaks your name (still, I)

I hope you feel ashamed ('shamed)

I hope that you regret it ('gret it)

'Cause then you'll finally know how it feels to be neglected

How it feels to be rejected, that love you didn't give her

Came back to haunt you (yeah), and now you miss her

Too little, too late (late), when she was down, you kicked her

You killed every bit of love she had for you, you can't fix her

So you pick up the liquor, put the bottle to your lips

And you think about that girl you missed

You said, "Tonight I'm gon' drink you away (away)

And finally set you free" (set you free)

You can't live with the shame (live with the shame)

It didn't give you what you need (didn't give you what you need)

And people tell him not to cry (not to cry)

But no one understands (no one understands)

That he don't wanna live this life without you (without you)

I guess it should've been a better day (this is Shifteh, yeah)

Can't drink you away
