Lyrics
I've been known to drink my weight in whiskey by myself
The singer acknowledges a history of excessive drinking alone.
'Cause when I drink I don't congregate with anybody else
Drinking alone is a preferred choice, avoiding social interactions.
You can cast your stones at another home you know I don't even check my mail
The singer is indifferent to criticism, suggesting a lack of concern for others' opinions.
She don't miss me grab my six string pull that bottle off the shelf
Reference to a partner (presumably female) who doesn't miss the singer; grabbing a guitar and a bottle may be a coping mechanism.
And I sing a sad sad song
Expressing sorrow through a song.
When she leaves me it ain't easy Being mad that long
Difficulty in handling the emotions after the partner leaves.
You don't think we should carry on
Questioning the continuation of the relationship.
I bet you're glad you're gone That's a really fast moving on
Suggesting the partner is happy to be out of the relationship, moving on quickly.
Please believe me it ain't easy Leaving that all alone
Affirming the emotional challenge of being left alone.
I don't answer phone calls I can rarely find my phone
Avoiding communication, possibly due to the singer's lifestyle or emotional state.
My actions make this happen I can't help it that I'm stoned
Actions and lifestyle choices, like substance use, contribute to the singer's situation.
You can waste your breath or another text but baby I was born to roam
Rejecting attempts to reach out, emphasizing the singer's free-spirited nature.
So carry on I'm very gone Better left left alone
Encouraging others to move on and leave the singer alone.
And I sing a sad sad song
Reiteration of singing a sad song as an outlet for emotions.
When she leaves me it ain't easy Being mad that long
Continued struggle with emotions after the partner's departure.
You don't think we should carry on
Raising doubts about the relationship's continuation.
I bet you're glad you're gone That's a really fast moving on
Implies the partner is content with the breakup and quickly moving on.
Please believe me it ain't easy Leaving that all alone
Reiterates the difficulty of being alone after the partner's departure.
