Lyrics Alcobatical - Smokey Bastard

Alcobatical

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.
