Dana Fuchs - Tell Me I'm Not Drinking lyrics

Couldn’t believe it when
I woke up here again
Without a single friend in the world
Twisted up inside
I cheated and I lied
Seemed the best way to get by in your world
Tell me I’m not drinking
Cause everything’s unclear
I’ll wake in the morning to find you here
Last night I had it all
I didn’t care you didn’t call
There was nothing I could do about you
Feels like a gun inside my head
Sending bullets through my heart
It hurts to take a single breath without you
Now I wish I could have stayed in the paradise you
Tried to make but that world — oh it’s for someone else
You can’t see me now, I’m just a tired ghost in a Smoke-filled crowd — I’d rather look at you from
Outside myself
So I stumble through each day
But I’m free to choose my way
And there’s this peaceful emptiness all around me
(chorus)
