Drowning My Sorrows Lyrics

I read the letter through a haze of alcohol A close encounter with the weak and pitiful Although my conscience said "she's absolutely right" The thought was buried in the blindness of the night
I'm free at last I'm drinking to the past Those best forgotten memories are fading fast
And now I'm drowning my sorrows Here's to you Dreams of love are finally through
And when I'm frowning my sorrows Life is sweet The bitter world is an echo in my heartbeat
The chair is empty where I slaved my years away Please save your tears for someone else's rainy day Where once your picture stood, a bottle's in it's place Another chapter in my epic fall form grace
I can't believe That you are so naive To think that losing you would give me 'cause to grieve
I thought you really loved me But what am I gonna do Know you are gone
The nights are long And when the stars are gone I stagger to my sense and I carry on
