Drinking With The Girls Lyrics - Singles - The Good Life

You thought you had it made 

Like the songs would write themselves 

But your words ran out of ink 

And your fingers lost the chords 

You lay around so bored 

And you hit the bar at two 

And you waste your time on girls 

They know they're getting used 

They love the pain that you create 

The drunken fights you fabricate 

'Cause they've been hurt too 

Worse than you 

You told yourself it's not your fault 

You told them not to get involved 

Some bullshit excuse to escape unbruised 

But they move on while you're stuck hating yourself deprecation 

Yourself centered songs 

The space you've created 

Between your words and your actions 

These loveless liaisons have left you alone 

All you've gained is a loss 

You really wish it wasn't like it was 

But like before that time 

You wished it was a little more 

Than how you felt before that time 

You made a wish to think the way you felt 

When you were young 

When you realized you'd never ever, ever know a love 

You wished and prayed and you tried to stay 

In love or at least in your lover's good graces 

Just keep it going, just keep it going 

'Cause when they leave the drinks get stronger 

And much, much more frequent 

For the sloppy drunk boys 

Who hide in their basements 

Where the songs write themselves 

Yeah it used to be easy 

before we got lazy 

and drank with the girls 

No, no I know it's not your fault 

No, no no, no, no you said not to get involved 

Whatever makes you happy 

Whatever you need to believe 

in all these self afflicted tradgedies 

You scribble them down on that miserable sound 

I guess this is the goodlife 

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no baby 

(let it go) 

Self deprecation has made it's translation
