You Are the Reason I Drink
Verse I
I can’t get you off my mind.
I think about your love all the time.
Without you, I can’t breathe.
‘til the whiskey sets me free.
Chorus
I drink ‘til I forget your name.
This liquor helps me to numb the pain.
I drink ‘til I feel better in me.
‘cause when I don’t, I go insane!
Verse II
I’m alone drinkin’ in the bar.
My heart aches when you’re so far.
My glass is empty as my heart.
I’ll drink each day that were apart.
Chorus
I drink ‘til I forget your name.
This liquor helps me to numb the pain.
I drink ‘til I feel better in me.
‘cause when I don’t, I go insane!
Verse III
This liquor gives me more than you.
I’m drowning in the sweet deep blue.
I can’t climb out of all my shame.
I keep tryin’ to forget your name.
Chorus
I drink ‘til I forget your name.
This liquor helps me to numb the pain.
I drink ‘til I feel better in me.
‘cause when I don’t, I go insane.
