The truth is, I was never there, When I was drunk, I just didn't care. I think you liked me better that way, Because I never had much to say. There's no point in you actin' dumb, You only loved me when I was numb. [Chorus] You don't like when I don't have a drink, 'Cause my head clears and I start to think. You only loved that party girl, The one who made you her whole world. But then I opened up my eyes, And I began to realize, That it was time that this was over, 'Cause you don't love me when I'm sober. [Verse 2] You liked me stayin' up all night, Too far gone to ever pick a fight. I’d laugh at everything you said, Then stumble back into your bed. You never liked when I spoke my mind, Or saw the things you tried to hide. So to make sure you kept me down, You'd bring another bottle around. [Chorus] You don't like when I don't have a drink, 'Cause my head clears and I start to think. You only loved that party girl, The one who made you her whole world. But then I opened up my eyes, And I began to realize, That it was time that this was over, 'Cause you don't love me when I'm sober. [Bridge] Now I can see you for who you are, And I didn’t need to fall that far. I’m finally standin’ on my own, And I’m better off here alone. [Chorus] You don't like when I don't have a drink, 'Cause my head clears and I start to think. You only loved that party girl, The one who made you her whole world. But then I opened up my eyes, And I began to realize, That it was time that this was over, 'Cause you don't love me when I'm sober. [Outro]
