“The meaning behind ‘Champagne’ is the act of substituting the loss or pain of something with another, more destructive replacement. Trying to mend a broken heart with drugs and alcohol, etc.” – Niykee Heaton, from her interview with Huffington Post
Niykee Heaton speaks on the origin of Champagne

[Verse 1]
Late nights waiting
Empty, fading
I want you again, I want to again
I'm far from sober
Won't hold me over
I can’t pretend, I can’t pretend
[Hook 1]
If I get this just right
I could lay here all night
Is it too much? One cup
Tryna fill up the spaces you left in me
[Pre-Chorus]
I got all these brand new addictions
I'm bound to, I'm bound to
Anything that stops me from thinking
About you, about you
[Chorus]
I got champagne for the pain
Black out all the memories
Runnin' through my veins
I don't really wanna feel anything
Trying to escape, I'm my only enemy
Drinks up, keep 'em laced
I don't really wanna feel anything
I got champagne for the pain
Black out all the memories
Runnin' through my veins
I don't really wanna feel anything
Trying to escape, I'm my only enemy
Drinks up, keep 'em laced
I don't really wanna feel anything
I don't really wanna feel anything
[Verse 2]
Touch me and I'm back to the first time
Chasing your high, tracing the lines
You left me stranded, broken, abandoned
Live for the high, I live for your high
[Hook 2]
If I get this just right (If I get this just right)
I could lay here all night (I could lay here all night)
Is it too late? I’m so afraid
The poison, I need a drink to spite you
Will you ravage me?
[Pre-Chorus]
I got all these brand new addictions (Brand new addictions)
I'm bound to, I'm bound to (I’m bound to)
Anything that stops me from thinking (Oh, it’s not so easy)
About you, about you (Oh, I got you)
[Chorus]
I got champagne for the pain
Black out all the memories (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Runnin' through my veins
I don't really wanna feel anything
Trying to escape, I'm my only enemy
Drinks up, keep 'em laced
I don't really wanna feel anything
I got champagne for the pain
Black out all the memories (Black out)
Runnin' through my veins
I don't really wanna feel anything (I don’t wanna feel it right now)
Trying to escape, I'm my only enemy
Drinks up, keep 'em laced (I won’t—)
I don't really wanna feel anything (I won’t let it—)
[Break]
Nu-nu-nu-numb the pain
I don't really wanna feel anything
Nu-nu-nu-numb the pain
I don't really wanna feel anything
[Bridge:]
Racin' through my mind and I think it's the last time
Lips are sweet as wine, so I drink just to pass time
Make me come alive, take me high and I can't lie
I just wanna hide the pain
[Chorus]
I got champagne for the pain
Black out all the memories
Runnin' through my veins (Running through my veins)
I don't really wanna feel anything
Trying to escape, I'm my only enemy
Drinks up, keep 'em laced
I don't really wanna feel anything
I got champagne for the pain
Black out all the memories
Runnin' through my veins
I don't really wanna feel anything
Trying to escape, I'm my only enemy
Drinks up, keep 'em laced
I don't really wanna feel anything
[Outro]
Bring on the champagne
So I can numb the pain, numb the pain
I don't really wanna feel anything
Bring on the champagne
So I can numb the pain, numb the pain
I don't really wanna feel anything
