HURTS WHEN YOU’RE SOBER

It hurts when you’re sober
It hurts when you’re drunk.
The more you try to find yourself,
I might just become a monk
My eyes turn red from watching the TV.
They water because I’m tired,
But there’s nothing else to see
Who is out there waiting now for me?
Everyone told me a light
Will be at the end of the tunnel.
I would sit and wonder,
How long do I go through the funnel?
It hurts when you’re sober,
It hurts when you’re drunk.
The more you try to find yourself,
The more you feel like a punk
Self-reflection,
Pulls the past apart.
How did I ever let it start?
I must repair my heart.
It hurts when you’re sober
It hurts when you’re drunk.
The more you try to find yourself,
You hope you don’t look like a chump.
A passing thought,
I should look to the app
That I bought.
I discover I have been sought.
It hurts when you’re sober,
It hurts when you’re drunk.
No longer feeling down.
Smiling while driving through town.
I have found the penny and picked it up
So far, it feels like good luck.
I had my rebound, kick that right down.
Drop a dime and split the nickels per kiss.
I think I found the missing ACE
The one who stands at my stage
And smiles up at me
I’ll look down, and she is all I’ll see
It hurts less to be sober
I don’t have to get drunk
She smiles
And likes KISS.
Just a rocker boy
On a rocket ride.
Looking for my song
On a new highway
And riding this new tide.
