Liquid courage

Liquid courage gets the best of me

And it challenges me to say things that I mutter under my breath

When I’m under all these wild thoughts come into my head

And I look at you angry as if you had someone else in your bed

Even if it was before me

I feel guilty

Sometimes I try to play it off and other times I be ready to set it off and it doesn’t even have anything to do with me

I’ll stumble trying to find the right words to recover from a relapse of apologies

In all reality, I’m just intense and you mixed with liquid intensifies it

With no chaser

I run around these thoughts in my head that I spill out and project to you

You’re no angel either baby

So how did I end up next yo you?

Every time the liquor touches my lips I lash out

And I think to myself

I’m not perfect and you placed me on this pedestal I never asked to be on

I just need a shoulder to lean on

My love language is words of affirmation and when I’m lost you go mute

I second guess everything and once I feel like you realize how much you love me you pull away

Love me in slow motion if that is what it takes

This room is spinning of all my mistakes when I'm on this liquor

And we can stay in this drunken state

Because sober thoughts are what keeps me awake

I don’t want to be seen I want to be felt

So I’ll sit here waiting

I'm not a stranger to the silence

And I deal with shit behind the scenes

But when you're around you never see that side of me

Liquid courage gets the best of me
