You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk

What a performance tonight

Should I react or turn off the light?

Looks like you're picking a fight

In a blurring of wrong and right

But how your mood changes

You're a devil, now an angel

Suddenly subtle and solemn

And silent as a monk

You only tell me you love me

When you're drunk



It's better than nothing,

I suppose some doors have opened, others closed

But I can't see you exposed

To the horrors behind some of those

Somebody said: listen, don't you know what you're missing?

You should be kissing him instead of dissing him like a punk

But you only tell me you love me when you're drunk

You only tell me you love me when you're drunk



All of my friends keep asking me

Why, oh, why

Do you not say goodbye?

If you don't even try you'll be sunk

'Cause you only tell me you love me when you're drunk



What's the meaning when you speak with so much feeling?

Is it over when you're sober? Is it junk?

You only tell me you love me when you're drunk

You only tell me you love me when you're drunk
