Drink You Away

[00:23.67] This is Shifteh
[00:25.13] I just woke up this morning with this pain in my heart
[00:28.21] I tried my best to make you want me, but you ripped me apart
[00:31.37] If it's my fault, just tell me, I can live with the blame
[00:34.66] But I can't live with loving someone who doesn't feel the same
[00:37.72] Damn it, I'm so sick of hurting
[00:39.51] I just feel like a burden
[00:41.15] Who's done nothing to hurt you
[00:42.61] Do you think I deserve for you to treat me like I'm nothing?
[00:45.97] I'm just a stranger in public
[00:47.52] That you don't have no reason to speak to
[00:50.07] You're supposed to be my hero (hero)
[00:52.98] But instead, I get zero (zero, zero)
[00:56.49] Blood of my blood, why can't you see
[00:59.78] That all I ever wanted was for you to love me?
[01:03.00] Tonight I'm gonna drink you away (away)
[01:06.73] And set myself free (free)
[01:09.62] I can't deal with the pain (pain)
[01:12.72] You say I'm not what you need (everybody, they)
[01:16.18] They tell me not to cry (don't cry)
[01:19.51] But no one understands
[01:21.95] That I don't wanna live this life without you (without you)
[01:25.95] But I've done all I can
[01:28.16] Tonight I'm gonna drink (tonight I'm gon' drink)
[01:31.35] Tonight I'm gon' drink you away
[01:34.48] I don't care what people think (tonight I'm gon' drink)
[01:38.13] Tonight I'm gonna drink you away (this is Shifteh, away)
[01:41.92] If money bought love, I would save it up (up)
[01:45.33] And give you every dime I could
[01:47.49] Does it make you feel good to know I still care?
[01:50.23] It hurts to know you still don't
[01:51.71] I keep giving you chances to change, but you still don't (uh-huh)
[01:55.53] Maybe I made a mistake
[01:57.44] Maybe I'm one drink away from turning love into hate
[02:00.99] When I was going through hell (hell), you wouldn't dare to help
[02:04.28] 'Cause the only person that you care about is yourself
[02:06.95] So I'ma drink you away (away)
[02:10.79] And set myself free (free)
[02:13.84] I can't deal with the pain (pain)
[02:17.08] You say I'm not what you need (everybody, they)
[02:20.27] They tell me not to cry (don't cry)
[02:23.35] But no one understands
[02:25.94] That I don't wanna live this life without you (without you)
[02:30.05] But I've done all I can
[02:32.44] Tonight I'm gon' drink (tonight I'm gon' drink)
[02:35.41] Tonight I'm gon' drink you away
[02:37.77] I don't care what people think (tonight I'm gon' drink)
[02:41.77] Tonight I'm gonna drink you away (this is Shifteh)
[02:45.21] I hope it hurts when the church fills up (fills up)
[02:48.98] And that little girl you used to know (you used to know)
[02:52.35] She smiles as the veil goes up (goes up)
[02:55.62] You try to go, but she said no (she said no)
[02:58.64] I hope it hurts when your grandchild's born (child's born)
[03:01.92] And that little girl that you caused pain (pain)
[03:04.77] Picks the baby up (up), and holds it in her arms
[03:07.89] Protects it from harm and never speaks your name (still, I)
[03:11.09] I hope you feel ashamed ('shamed)
[03:12.69] I hope that you regret it ('gret it)
[03:14.12] 'Cause then you'll finally know how it feels to be neglected
[03:17.03] How it feels to be rejected, that love you didn't give her
[03:20.48] Came back to haunt you (yeah), and now you miss her
[03:23.66] Too little, too late (late), when she was down, you kicked her
[03:26.64] You killed every bit of love she had for you, you can't fix her
[03:30.21] So you pick up the liquor, put the bottle to your lips
[03:33.99] And you think about that girl you missed
[03:36.22] You said, "Tonight I'm gon' drink you away (away)
[03:40.09] And finally set you free" (set you free)
[03:43.05] You can't live with the shame (live with the shame)
[03:46.32] It didn't give you what you need (didn't give you what you need)
[03:49.12] And people tell him not to cry (not to cry)
[03:52.52] But no one understands (no one understands)
[03:55.60] That he don't wanna live this life without you (without you)
[03:59.28] I guess it should've been a better day (this is Shifteh, yeah)
[04:02.66] Can't drink you away
[04:04.95]
