Just a Drink
Intoxicating Temptations: A Melody of Regret and Choices
Lyrics
Everybody knows that I'm no good for you
Admission of the speaker's negative impact on the listener.
But you run to me when you're running from the truth
The listener seeks comfort in the speaker despite knowing it's not the truth.
What makes me drive you crazy?
Questioning what about the speaker is enticing or alluring.
What makes you have to crave me?
Questioning the listener's intense desire for the speaker.
What makes you want me more than her?
Exploring the contrast between the speaker and someone important to the listener.
I'm just a drink, but man she's your world

Can you live with the choice you're makin
Prompting the listener to consider the consequences of their choices.
Cause that's a hell of a heart you're breakin
Highlighting the severity of the emotional damage caused by the listener's actions.
Way more than a sip you're taking your chances every time

Pushing her right across that line, out the door
Describing the potential outcome of the listener's actions, pushing someone away.
When I'm just a drink, man she's your world
Reiterating the destructive nature of the speaker compared to the significant other.
All she's ever got for giving you her love

Is just a front row view of watching you self destruct

You treat me like I'm your best friend
Pointing out the contradictory nature of the listener's relationship with the speaker.
But I'm where your problems start and end
Emphasizing the speaker's role in the listener's problems.
And I'll wreck what's left of you if you lose her

I'm just a drink, but man she's your world

When I'm just a drink, man she's your world

It's gonna crash and burn
Anticipating a destructive end to the relationship.
And this life you got'll be a pile of ashes

By the time you learn
