Someone had to tell you,

Teenage alcoholic
Grew too old to be fun.
Just another loser
Ain't no use to no-one.
You can't understand.
You can't understand.
Give yourself excuses,
Just as boozers all do.
Why invent a reason ?
No-one sees it like you
Do you understand?

Your head in the sand

Everything is hopeless,
Drink to cope - it don't help.
What's it take to make you
Wide awake to yourself?
To yourself?
To yourself?
Your head's in the - (buried deep below)
Your head's in the - (you don't wanna know)
Your head's in the - (you've got feet of clay)
Your head's in the - (drink your tears away)
