Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bittersweet thing, could this be a dream?
Or just the same nightmare that keeps me awake
Feel it in my brain, tall shot of pain
Pour a little out now for the love that we've made
[PreChorus]
I feel it in the morning, you're still here in the morning
I see you, but you're gone, telephone the doctor, I'm not okay
The bottom of the bottle, to fill this empty heart up
A thousand proof don't change the truth, I dive in, but I can't
[Chorus]
I can't drink you away
I've tried Jack, I've tried Jim, I've tried all of their friends
But I can't drink you away
All these rocks, I can't swim outta this skin I'm living in
[Chorus]
Say, now tell me, baby
Don't they make a medicine for heartbreak?
Tell me, baby, oh yeah
Now, don't they make a medicine for heartbreak?
Hey, hey, yeah
[Verse 2]
Got that pounding on my brain, so I drowned it away
When the sun comes up tomorrow, you can find me doing the same
'Cause I just can't forget the way we turned out this bad
And now the only thing that sleeps here is a ghost of you instead
[PreChorus]
I feel it in the morning, you're still here in the morning
I see you, but you're gone, telephone the doctor, I'm not okay
The bottom of the bottle to fill this empty heart up
A thousand proof don't change the truth, I dive in, but I can't
[Chorus]
I can't drink you away
I've tried Jack, I've tried Jim, I've tried all of their friends
But I can't drink you away (No I can't)
All these rocks, I can't swim outta this skin I'm living in
[Chorus]
Say, now tell me, baby
Don't they make a medicine for heartbreak?
Tell me, baby, one time, come on
Don't they make a medicine for heartbreak?
Break it down
[Bridge]
I can't drink you
No, I can't drink you away, away
I can't drink you
I can't drink you away, away
[Bridge]
I can't drink you
I can't drink you away, away
Ooh, and I can't drink you
No, I can't drink you away
[Chorus]
I can't drink you away
I've tried Jack, I've tried Jim, I've tried all of their friends
But I can't drink you away (No I can't)
All these rocks, I can't swim outta this skin I'm living in
[Chorus]
Say, so, tell me, baby
Don't they make a medicine for heartbreak?
Don't they? Don't they? Tell me, baby
Tell me, baby, one time
Don't they make a medicine for heartbreak? Yeah
[Chorus]
Oh yeah, tell me, baby
Can't they make a medicine for my heartbreak? Heartbreak
Tell me, baby, baby
Can't they make a medicine for my heartbreak?
[Outro]
'Cause I can't drink you away
I've tried Jack, I've tried Jim, I've tried all of their friends
I can't drink you away
All these rocks, I can't swim outta this skin I'm living in
