BECAUSE I WAS DRUNK




It was new years eve of 1998
I had to hurry or I was gonna be late
I got in my car and started to drive
Thinking "tonight is the night to be alive"
I got to the party, saw all my friends drinking
I danced to the music and I kept on thinking
Where are the boos, and wheres the beer?
I asked a friend she said "its right over here"
Just one little drink to get me in the mood
Just one little beer, thats been freshly brewed
I finished the first, and went on to six and seven
I looked at he clock , 45 minutes past eleven
I kept on dancing but I couldnt stand up right
I sat with my head in the toilet half the night
Then I sat on the couch, laughing non-stop
I felt if I got up, I would just drop
I got up anyway and started walking up the stairs
I needed to find some Tylenol in that cabinet of theirs
I got dizzy as I walked down the hall
I tried to steady myself so I wouldnt fall
Then I felt someone behind me, touching by butt
"Lets have some fun" he said, I thought what? what?
He walked me to a bedroom, and locked the door behind
I got so dizzy I fell on the bed, a thousand things rushed through my mind
What is he doing, I tried to move, but he pinned me on the bed
I just went upstairs to get some Tylenol, but I got this instead

He took of my pants and raped me that night
Its all my fault is what your thinking, right?
I should have stayed sober, and not had all that to drink
But theres an ironic part ... one that will make you think

I have a little boy now, hes gonna be three years old soon
I love him more than anything, If I could, I would give him the moon
From that night my life had changed forever, "but whats the ironic part" you say
The guy that raped me, I have known for years, my best friend Jay
