[Verse 1]
Bittersweet thing, could this be a dream
Or just the same nightmare that keeps me awake?
Feel it in my brain, tall shot of pain
Pour a little out now for the love that we've made
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel it the morning, you're still here in the morning
I see you but you're gone, telephone the doctor, I'm not okay
The bottom of the bottle to fill this empty heart up
A thousand proof don't change the truth, I dive in, but I can't
[Chorus]
I can't drink you away
I've tried Jack, I've tried Jim, I've tried all of their friends
But I can't drink you away
All of these rocks, I can't swim outta this skin, I'm livin' in
[Post-Chorus]
Say, now tell me baby, don't they make a medicine for heartbreak?
Tell me baby, now don't they make a medicine for heartbreak?
[Verse 2]
Got that poundin' on my brain, so I drowned it away
When the sun comes up tomorrow, you can find me doin' the same
Cause I just can't forget, the way we turned out this bad
And now the only thing that sleeps here is a ghost of you instead
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel it the morning, you're still here in the morning
I see you but you're gone, telephone the doctor, I'm not okay
The bottom of the bottle to fill this empty heart up
A thousand proof don't change the truth, I dive in, but I can't
[Chorus]
I can't drink you away
I've tried Jack, I've tried Jim, I've tried all of their friends
But I can't drink you away
All of these rocks, I can't swim outta this skin, I'm livin' in
[Post-Chorus]
Say, now tell me baby, don't they make a medicine for heartbreak?
Tell me baby, now don't they make a medicine for heartbreak?
[Bridge]
Break it down
I can't drink you
No I can't drink you away, away
I can't drink you
I can't drink you away, away
I can't drink you
I can't drink you away, away
I can't drink you
No I can't drink you away
[Chorus]
I can't drink you away
I've tried Jack, I've tried Jim, I've tried all of their friends
But I can't drink you away
All of these rocks, I can't swim outta this skin, I'm livin' in
[Post-Chorus]
Say, so tell me baby, don't they make a medicine for heartbreak?
Tell me baby, oh yeah, now don't they make a medicine for heartbreak?
Oh yeah, tell me baby, don't they make a medicine for my heartbreak?
Tell me baby, now don't they make a medicine for my heartbreak?
[Chorus]
I can't drink you away
I've tried Jack, I've tried Jim, I've tried all of their friends
But I can't drink you away
All of these rocks, I can't swim outta this skin, I'm livin' in
