When I Was Drinking Lyrics - Hem

When I was drinking, when I was with you 

Living it up when the rent was due 

With nothing and no one to live up to 

You and me dying on the vine 

Holding hands and drinking wine 

Now I'm not the same girl, I left behind with you 

Twelve bars behind us and twelve bars to go 

Bottles of beer lined up in a row 

One for each hour that you didn't show 

You and me dying everyday 

Getting high just to pass away 

But that's not the reason, I couldn't stay with you 

Now I am sober, now I'm alone 

Three years have gone by since you have gone 

Letting you go, letting me go on 

But I'll raise a glass now, to you and me 

To to lift me higher so I can see 

Which of these blessings are killing me
