I've Been Drinking...

I like who I am when I drink
That's right, I do
You might not like me, but that's the beauty of it
When I'm drinking, I just don't give a damn
The world becomes weightless
I can still feel the pressure, but I can't feel the pain
Oh, I heard what you said
But with another swig and the shake of my head
Your words become mercifully unclear
The tears are stinging
So I shut my eyes tight and bang my glass on the table
Yes, I drink from a glass
Because I am a a lady!
Despite hearing you constantly tell me I'm not
My body is relaxed
And I am beautifully oblivious to the outside world
Until tomorrow, sweet sorrow
