Lyrics
Picking up the pieces that you left on the ground.
Picking up remnants you left behind.
I never learn from my mistakes. I always come back to the same place.
Repeatedly returning to the same situation without learning.
You shattered this glass. How long do you think it’ll last?
Asking how long the damage caused by the person will endure.
Do you believe someday the pieces will be too small for you to pick them up?
Questioning if the damage caused will become too insignificant to fix.
(Chorus)
Chorus
I’m drinking but I can’t get drunk enough.
Drinking but unable to numb the pain adequately.
I’m loving but I can’t get loved enough.
Giving love but not receiving enough in return.
I’m drinking but I can’t get drunk enough.
Continuing to drink but not finding solace.
I’m lost and I can’t get found.
Feeling lost and unable to be found or understood.
(Verse 2)
Verse 2
Remember the sorrow and the pain burning in your chest.
Recalling past emotional pain and suffering.
Your heart was broken and on fire, you always came back to that same place.
Despite heartbreak, returning to the same emotional space.
Pills aren’t working and my drinking doesn’t help.
Trying different coping mechanisms but finding no relief.
How long before we end up dying in the bed that we made together.
Speculating about the possibility of a tragic end in the troubled relationship.
(Chorus)
Chorus
I’m drinking but I can’t get drunk enough.
Continuing to seek solace in drinking but it's ineffective.
I’m loving but I can’t get loved enough.
Expressing a lack of reciprocation in affection received.
I’m drinking but I can’t get drunk enough.
Repeating the inability to find comfort in drinking.
I’m lost and I can’t get found.
Feeling lost and unable to find resolution.
(Outro)
Outro
You don't love me. Please stop lying to yourself.
Addressing the other's lack of genuine love and self-deception.
You try to hold me back. Oh won’t you wake up.
Encouraging the other to wake up from denial.
You don't love me. Please stop lying to yourself.
Reiterating the absence of authentic love and self-deception.
I will leave you alone, I will leave it all behind.
Deciding to leave everything behind and part ways.
