Drunk
Ed Sheeran · + [2011]
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
