Drink the Pain Away

I'm sitting on the floor
Waiting for someone to tell me to go
Trying to keep my mind off the things I know I can't control
But it's a hell of a thing
Staring at everything you've ever owned
Sealed up in boxes in the hallway with no light and nowhere to go

I want to drink my pain away
For the first time in two months today
I want to drink my pain away
If I can't find another song to sing

I have to call the kids
And tell them that everything's gonna be ok
And that's the part of the role that I find is the hardest to play
Saying everything is fine
When everything feels fucked up is just a lie
I guess I never really learned how to let go of the truth for a lie

I want to drink my pain away
For the first time in two months today
I want to drink my pain away
If I can't find another song to sing

I took a walk and stood outside
Watched the birds and cars pass by
Wiped the sweat off of my eyes
Took a deep breath and let out a sigh

I don't want to drink my pain away
I just want to let today be today
I don't want to drink my pain away
I've just gotta find another song to sing
