When I Was Drinking

When I was drinking, when I was with you

Living it up when the rent was due

With nothing and no one to live up toYou and me dying on the vine

Holding hands and drinking wine

Now I'm not the same girl, I left behind with youTwelve bars behind us and twelve bars to go

Bottles of beer lined up in a row

One for each hour that you didn't showYou and me dying everyday

Getting high just to pass away

But that's not the reason, I couldn't stay with youNow I am sober, now I'm alone

Three years have gone by since you have gone

Letting you go, letting me go onBut I'll raise a glass now, to you and me

To to lift me higher so I can see

Which of these blessings are killing me
