Sitting all alone in this darkened room
With a drink in my hand thinking of you
It’s sad to say but it happens every night
As the ice melts away, I feel my drink slip
Further down my hand, I have no grip
I think about the days when I was okay
I slip away when I start to think of you
I slip away when I start to feel blue
I slip away when I start to recall memories
No matter what I do, I always seem to lose
Myself for awhile in this lonely room
I can’t help it, it’s the only thing I know to do
I pour another glass and I quickly drink it down
Trying to erase all the things you did to me
But I can’t seem to make them strong enough
I slip away when I start to think of you
I slip away when I start to feel blue
I slip away when I start to recall memories
As I finish this bottle of the Captain’s finest rum
I can feel the grip he holds on my tongue
And for a moment, I feel fine
I know that when I wake, it’ll all be okay
Your memories will fade, like the ice in my drink
I won’t need to worry; I’ll just let you slip away.....
I slip away when I start to think of you
I slip away when I start to feel blue
I slip away when I start to recall memories
