[Verse 1]
Girl meets boy and girl goes crazy
Boy backs away
She gets her heart broken
No words are spoken
Boy comes back and acts as if everything is cool
Soon she's got him back
Up on a pedestal
[Pre-Chorus]
She only sees what she wants to see
Love is blind
Love is so misleading
[Chorus]
I see the light
Ohh, what a light
And I am sober
All that you served to me
No longer will I drink it in
I took the time to think it over
I see the you I never knew
Now it's finally sinking in
(I am sober) I am sober
(I am sober) I am sober
[Verse 2]
Girl wakes up and smells the coffee one day
Realizes she's on her own again
All alone again
Boy takes every opportunity
To play on every insecurity
Get her back on track
[Pre-Chorus]
She's in a daze
Back in the fire
But will she cave into her old desires?
[Chorus]
I see the light
Ohh, what a light
And I am sober
All that you served to me
No longer will I drink it in
I took the time to think it over
I see the you I never knew
Now it's finally sinking in
(I am sober) I am sober
(I am sober) I am sober
[Bridge]
I see the light
Ohh, what a light
[Pre-Chorus]
(She's in a daze) She's in a daze
(Back in the fire) Back in the fire
(But will she cave) But will she cave into her old desires?
[Chorus]
I see the light
Ohh, what a light
And I am sober
All that you served to me
No longer will I drink it in
I took the time to think it over
I see the you I never knew
Now it's finally sinking in
(I am sober) I am sober, yeah
(I am sober) I am sober
[Outro]
I see the light
Ohh, what a light
And I am sober, yeah
Mmm, mmm
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, oh-oh

It’s all about a woman breaking free and moving on from like a bad relationship, so I think we’ve all had relationships that you know we’re so over with before we got out of them that I think everybody in some way probably knows about this because you linger on the things that were good about it.
