Verse 1: You only call when the city lights blur Hennessy courage, now you say what you were Tryna hide feelings in a solo cup swirl But the truth always float, it don’t drown in the world You a different kind of honest off the liquor and lime Say I’m “one of a kind,” then you switch up with time When you sober, you colder, put your heart on decline Like your love on airplane mode, don’t respond to mine I been readin’ your silence like closed captions on pain Every text feel rehearsed, every word feel trained But when your guard fall down, you don’t act the same It’s like I meet the real you when you loosen the chains Pre-Chorus: You sip, then you slide into truth No filter when you off of the juice Why I gotta compete with your proof? Liquor got you tellin’ the truth Chorus: I don’t like you when you’re sober You don’t love me, you just closer When your edges start to blur That’s when I get what I deserve I don’t like you in the daylight Actin’ like we never late night Say it’s real, but it’s a lie Only love me when you’re high Verse 2: Yeah, you ghost in the morning like a vapor trail But at night, you a poet with a deeper tale You be pourin’ out your soul like a wishing well But by sunrise, it’s a story that you never tell You got layers like the drinks that you mix so clean Top shelf conversations, but they don’t stay seen You say “I miss you” with a slur that you can’t repeat Then wake up actin’ like it never meant a thing to me I’m just tryna understand what version is true Is it me you really want or the things that I do? Is it love in your veins or the chemical view? ‘Cause your heart only open when the bottle is too Bridge: Yeah… I don’t wanna be your midnight therapy Temporary clarity Sippin’ on sincerity Just to lose it in the morning light I need you present, not poured out Love shouldn’t need a workaround If I’m real, why I feel like I only get you on the downside? Chorus: I don’t like you when you’re sober You don’t love me, you just closer When your edges start to blur That’s when I get what I deserve I don’t like you in the daylight Actin’ like we never late night Say it’s real, but it’s a lie Only love me when you’re high Outro: Yeah… You a stranger with a memory Only love me chemically What we got ain’t meant to be If it fade with clarity Pour it up, say my name Then forget it by the day I don’t like you when you’re sober… But I stay anyway
