I Only Cry When I’m Drunk

[Verse 1]
My friends try to tell me that it's time for a change
'Cause the darkness inside me ain't going away
The thoughts that I'm thinking won't get you nowhere
So I'm overdue for a brand-spanking new way of getting somewhere

[Chorus]
I only cry when I'm drinking
Tears don't flow unless I'm long gone
And the wall that I built to stop me from thinking
Won't fall 'til I'm three or four drinks down the road
I only cry drunk and alone

[Verse 2]
I'm listening to sad songs with a drink in my hand
But I can't be a man, open up to a friend, and finally let somebody else in
I wake up each morning, tired of my wicked ways
Could this be the day I turn into the man that my sweet momma raised?

[Chorus]
I only cry when I'm drinking
Tears don't flow unless I'm long gone
And the wall that I built to stop me from thinking
Won't fall 'til I'm three or four drinks down the road
I only cry drunk and alone

[Outro]
I only cry
I only cry drunk and alone
