Drinking you away

By Kinkypoptart

One drink goes down smoothly
But still I think of you
Trying to drink it all away
These feelings i have for you

The smile on your face
Makes me need to drink more
You are just so damn beautiful
I can't help but fall in love

Over and over again I tell me
That I can't have you, you're not mine
But my heart just won't believe it
So I just keep right on loving you

These feelings stay so strong
Makes me wonder sometimes
What kinda steroids they're on
They get a hold of me every time

The things you tell me sometimes
Make me fall over and over again
I'd do anything to make you happy
Just to see you smile for me, just once

I sit alone and cry some nights
When Im alone and thinking of you
Alone in the corner, with my bottle
Slowly approaching the bottom

I'm on my sixth drink now
And I still remember you
That calls for a seventh
Something a little stonger

**************************

Sitting in a crowded bar
Someone passes me by, I think of you
I see you in every man I meet
And all I can do is cry

The world is full of men
But all I want is one
That one that happens to be you
...the one that i cant have

I love the way you are there for me
and the way you stick right here....
Running down a long hallway
From my empty thoughts and spoken lies

Broken promises fill my head
Repetitively I wish I was dead...
All I can think about is you...
and nothing will let me forget
