Alcobatical - Smokey Bastard

We’re just taking a break

For the sake of my sense of well-being

I can not pretend

That all of the mistakes that I’ve made

Haven’t left me feeling shame

I’m not the same when I’m with you

But I can’t keep using that excuse

I need to cut you loose.

You will suck me dry

I’ll watch my fortunes burn

As I learn that I’m better without you

So much passed me by

While I was your slave

But the haze feels like it’s about to clear

And now I fear that you’re the

Heart and soul of what it means to be

With you gone, am I still me?

I’m not sayin' you’re no good for someone else

I’m doin' this for myself

Now I have the chance to change

Don’t know how many more I’ll get

But I can’t keep waking up

In a spinning room

To the stench of stale regret

It’s not the end, it’s just a break

Don’t know long 'til I return

To find this lesson’s one

I should have learned to learn.

When we meet again

You’ll be all that I need, and I plead

That I’ll find you less tempting

Every now and then

A reunion’s allowed

But I’ve vowed that I’ll follow my empty dreams

I see a theme emerging

Where my will is urging me to lose

and I’ll come running back to you.
