Drunk

Ed Sheeran · + [2011]

I wanna be drunk when I wake up,

On the right side of the wrong bed,

And never an excuse that I made up,

Tell you the truth that it weren't,

Didn't kill me, yeah it never made me stronger at all



Love will scare your makeup,

Lip sticks to me and so now I'll maybe leave, back there

I'm sat here, wishing I was sober,

And no i'll never hold you like I used to



But the house gets cold when you cut the heating,

Without you to hold i'll be freezing,

Can't rely on my heart to beat it,

Cause you take part of it every evening,

Take words out of my mouth just from breathing,

Replace with phrases like 'when you leaving me?'



Should I, Should I,

Maybe I'll get drunk, again

I'll be drunk, again, I'll be drunk, again

To feel a little love.



I wanna hold your heart in both hands,

I'll watch it fizzle at the bottom of a coke can,

And i've got no plans for the weekend,

So should we speak then? Keep it between friends?

Though I know you'll never love me, like you used to



And maybe other people like us,

Will see the flicker of the clipper when they light up,

Flames just create us, burns dont heal like before

You dont hold me anymore



On cold days cold plays out like the bands name

I know i cant heal things with a handshake

You know i can change, as I began saying

You cut me wide open like landscape

Open bottles of beer but never champagne

To applaud you with the sound that my hands make



Should I? Should I?

Maybe I'll get drunk, again

I'll be drunk, again, i'll be drunk, again

To feel a little love again



All by myself

Im hear again

All by myself

You know i'll never change

All by myself

All by myself

I'm just drunk, again

I'll be drunk, again

I'll be drunk, again

To feel a little love
