You’re Not Drowning Your Heartache

[Verse 1]
I beg your pardon, mister, for intruding privacy
I was sitting on the barstool, I couldn't help but see
By the way you've been drinking, must be an awful mood you're in
You're not drowning your heartache, you're just teaching it to swim

[Verse 2]
You wonder what came over you, why did she treat you so?
You sit and drink in sorrow, wishing all the hurt would go
Guess you've asked yourself a hundred times what did she see in him
You're not drowning your heartache, you're just teaching it to swim

[Verse 3]
Perhaps you're wondering how a stranger like me would understand
But I've got a feeling we're in the same boat, my friend
Just like you I lost my darling, she just walked away with him
You're not drowning your heartache, you're just teaching it to swim
You're not drowning your heartache, you're just teaching it to swim
