I'm waiting
And thinking
And hoping...
Then drinking...

Just a few
As you do
"Drown your sorrows" and such
You're not here, so who cares
If I drink a bit too much

Just one more
One more beer
I don't care...
You're not here...

Soon enough,
This light stuff
Seems too boring and weak
And after some quick shots
I can't properly speak

And then blank
I forgot
What came
After that shot

All too soon,
Next day noon,
I start vaguely awaking
Unsure where I might be
With my skull loudly aching

My red eyes
Look around
Wincing with
Each new sound

There's a smell,
I can tell
That there's vomit on me
And even after I blink
I can still hardly see

My throat cracks
Just one cough
And I'm
Suddently off

Cough and zneeze
Try to breathe
And I almost collapse
Until I reach the sink
And drink straight from the taps

My mind reels
My heart rolls
My vision is
Full of holes

Thick regret
Fills my head
As I regain my sight
But my heart starts to smile
Maybe you'll come tonight...

I'm waiting
And thinking
And hoping...
Then drinking...

One more night.

I'm waiting
And hoping...
Then drinking

One more night...

I'm waiting...
And drinking

One more night?

I'm drinking.
I forgot to wait.
