I can't stay sober too long

Cuz my mind starts to get to me

And when I drink things start to slow down

Cuz since you left girl it's been

Hard to breathe

Yeah I can't stay sober too long

Cuz my mind starts to get to me

And when I drink things start to slow down

Cuz since you left girl it's been

Hard to breathe

I know you said it will take some time

And things we'll go away

But I've heard that shit a thousand times

Still every day gets worse and worse for me

I know that you've decided you're done

But every drink brings you back here close to me

Forgetting when you said it's over

Is easier said than done for me

That's why I can't stay sober too long

I never thought that you would notice

God knows I sip slow but it's so strong

Whatever it helps me through this moment

Yeah I can't stay sober for too long

Said I can't stay sober for too long

I'll take a double for my troubles

Cuz that's the only thing that makes me feel like everything is all right

The funny thing is I was never a drinker till the day that you decided to walk out on my life

My life

And I know things can be hard to see

When I tell you what you meant to me

It's tearing me apart

Another shot please

Cuz I can't stand to think what we used to be

I know that you've decided you're done

But every drink brings you back here close to me

Forgetting when you said it's over

Is easier said than done for me

That's why I can't stay sober too long

I never thought that you would notice

God knows I sip slow but it's so strong

Whatever it helps me through this moment

Yeah I can't stay sober for too long

Said I can't stay sober for too long
