Singing About Drinking

I haven't been drinking as much as I have been singing about drinking
I don't know if I have been feeling any better
But the smiles aren't the same
This time around, I'm pretty sure
I think that they are actually genuine
Who knows how long it'll stick around
I'll take what I can get to feel okay

I think I've got to step away
Maybe take a break
I'm burning myself out
Losing track of what's fun

I wanna have my own bed
I want to sit and play guitar
I've been working so hard
I don't know where I've been
Where have I been?

I'll go out and watch my friends play music
And feel okay for the night
The feeling fades but I'm okay
I'll wake up somehow and get through the day
It's strange to know just how this goes
The ups and downs can feel so incidental
Just take them in and keep moving
Forget the fact that you acted that way

These Stupid Songs are always there
To pull me out of depression
I want to believe that I will never forget them
I only fucked up once
It was a better day than yesterday
It was a better day than yesterday
It was a better day than yesterday

I haven't been drinking
As much as I have been singing about drinking
I don't know if I have been feeling any better
But the smiles aren't the same
This time around, I'm pretty sure
I think that they are actually genuine
Who knows how long it'll stick around
I'll take what I can get to feel okay

I think I've got to step away
Maybe take a break
I'm burning myself out
Losing track of what's fun

I wanna have my own bed
I want to sit and play guitar
I've been working so hard
I don't know where I've been
Where have I been?
Where have I been?
