Текст пісні
We start the toast early while the sun is still high
Just a couple of lovers beneath a painted sky
We laugh and we smile skin against skin
Keeping the monster locked deep within
Soft words soft hands hiding the war
But the shadow is scratching at the cellar door
Five glasses deep the sweet talk dissolves
And I'm staring down the barrel of your problems unresolved
Oh why do you hate me when we drink
I'm standing on the edge watching you sink
The glass hits the bottom the venom spills free
My sweet lovin angel turns to the devil on me
I'm confused oh baby I'm on the brink
Tell me why do you hate me when we drink
The liquid courage turns into liquid rage
You rip out the chapters you burn every page
Of the life that we built in the sober daylight
Now you're hunting for blood in the middle of the night
You look through me like I'm a stranger you despise
I see the cold hard history glazing over your eyes
I didn't do nothing but love you right
But I'm the enemy now in the neon light
Is it the liquor talking or is it the truth
Is this the real version of me and you
Maybe the whiskey just peels back the skin
To show the ugly spirit that was rotting within
Morning will come and you won't recall
The holes in my heart or the holes in the wall
You'll pour me some coffee and kiss on my neck
While I'm still sweeping up the emotional wreck
But tonight the bottle is heavy and brown
And I'm just the target you want to tear down
Oh why do you hate me when we drink
I'm standing on the edge watching you sink
The glass hits the bottom the venom spills free
My sweet lovin angel turns to the devil on me
I'm confused oh baby I'm on the brink
Tell me why do you hate me when we drink
Yeah the venom spills free
My devil oh why
Why does the truth have to hurt this bad
