2:00 in the morning

Why do I drink when I'm all alone?
Does it really stop all the pain?
Light another cigarette, the pain isn't gone just yet.
What else can I do but drink when I'm all alone?

The bottle or a can...
Can replace the emptiness I feel when I don't have a man.
I lick those lips only I have kissed.
I'm seducing a bottle only I will miss.
Seconds later, I have to piss.
What's with my headache at 2:00 in the morning?

Why do I drink when I'm all alone?
Does it really stop all the pain?
Light another cigarette, the pain isn't gone just yet.
What else can I do but drink when I'm all alone?

Life or drink...
Are the choices I face when I can't seem to think.
My head is spinning cuz of "uncle Jack"
Will I ever get my senses back?
I decided to stop before I go black.
What am I doing at 2:00 in the morning?

I dumped out the rest of my glass
decided, "that's all for me...
Maybe I should crash..."
At 2:00 in the morning...

DRANK AWAY MY YEARS TODAY
DRANK, DRANK, DRANK TILL I COULDN'T FEEL
THAT'S HOW IT IS EVERY NIGHT, JUST ABOUT
I'M BEGINNING TO LOVE EVERYONE.

ONE DRINK, ONE MORE BEER
JUST TAKE AWAY ANOTHER YEAR

DRINK ONE DRINK, MY LIPS ARE NUMB
DRINK, DRINK, DRINK TILL I GET DUMB
THAT'S HOW IT ALWAYS IS, ALL MY LIFE
I'M BEGINNING TO KILL MYSELF.

ONE DRINK, ONE MORE BEER
JUST TAKE AWAY ANOTHER YEAR
