I know I don't have
Enough motivation left
To open up my mouth
And ask you for a spare cigarette
It kills me to know
What you really think
Vomit up the truth
After one too many drinks
And I could stop
Being such a bum
But it feels comfortable at the bottom
So give me your bad news
And I'll smile away
I've dealt with disappointment
More than I've seen the break of days
And it's not that I don't
Want to be with you
It's that I'd rather drink alone
At a table for two
