She can't get drunk Verse 1 She stepped off the bus, the city loud and cold A single suitcase, a story yet untold The dawn was breaking, her heart was beating loud A dream to cling to, standing in the crowd Verse 2 She found a bar and took the mic to sing Felt the whiskey burn and what the neon light would bring But the crowd was talking, no one heard a word The brightest dream she had was now absurd Chorus She drinks and she drinks, but nothing moves, nothing lifts Dreams blur and crowds fade, a soul adrift Her stomach turns and her tired hands, they shake She wants to forget, but she can't get drunk for heaven's sake Verse 3 The nights got longer and the money wore so thin The empty smile she had to always give A voice for hire, a name she left behind Just another face that no one seemed to mind Verse 4 She came to sing, she came to find the stage But lost her mind to the turning of the page Now every single song is just a lie And every single note means a goodbye Chorus She drinks and she drinks, but nothing moves, nothing lifts Dreams blur and crowds fade, a soul adrift Her stomach turns and her tired hands, they shake She wants to forget, but she can't get drunk for heaven's sake (Outro) No, she can't get drunk No, she can't get drunk She can't get drunk for heaven's sake.
