Drowning My Sorrows Lyrics - Singles - Johnny Hates Jazz

I read the letter through a haze of alcohol 

A close encounter with the weak and pitiful 

Although my conscience said "she's absolutely right" 

The thought was buried in the blindness of the night 

I'm free at last 

I'm drinking to the past 

Those best forgotten memories are fading fast 

And now I'm drowning my sorrows 

Here's to you 

Dreams of love are finally through 

And when I'm frowning my sorrows 

Life is sweet 

The bitter world is an echo in my heartbeat 

The chair is empty where I slaved my years away 

Please save your tears for someone else's rainy day 

Where once your picture stood, a bottle's in it's place 

Another chapter in my epic fall form grace 

I can't believe 

That you are so naive 

To think that losing you would give me 'cause to grieve 

I thought you really loved me 

But what am I gonna do 

Know you are gone 

The nights are long 

And when the stars are gone 

I stagger to my sense and I carry on
