Drunken Lament Lyrics - You're Awful, I Love You - Ludo

"Self-loathing is quaint" 

You told me, showing restraint 

Now you're gone and I'm lost, in the swells I am tossed 

Bobbing and choking and losing the fight in the fog 

You said, "Forever" 

Tell me, why can't you stay? 

I'd ride in your pocket all day, but I just don't fit 

Say the word and I'll change, I'm throwin' a party 

Tonight, I drink more than a sailor on shore 

Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies 

Drunk since Saturday, without you, without restraint 

It sill stings where you stung, water swings in my lungs 

I'm starving for words that would ration my sadness away 

Tell me, "Forever" 

Tell me you'll come back to stay 

I'd ride in your pocket all day, but I just don't fit 

Say the word and I'll change, I'm throwin' a party 

Tonight, I drink more than a sailor on shore 

Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies 

You were the mermaid for me 

'Til one day you found your feet, leaving me 

In this god-awful bottle, a bottle of heartache and grief 

I'd ride in your pocket all day, but I just don't fit 

Say the word and I'll change, I'm throwin' a party 

Tonight, I drink more than a sailor on shore 

Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies
