Sober Thoughts


How many have you had? One, two, three Don't you think you've had enough, Your hurting me. What can I do? To make it go away. I've stooped to your level, Another mistake today. Now all over the place, Unconscious thoughts spoken in this room. You say you didn't mean it, Unconsciously, how sure are you? A drunken man, Will speak sober thoughts. Or is it a drunken man drinks, Because of cause? Cause and effect, Baby now your scared. Cause we've messed up, Yet, part of you doesn't care. So misunderstood, We stand out to be. But when a man is drunk, The truth comes out as you can see. A man gets drunk, And speaks his mind. He'll break your heart, And think everything is fine. So lost in that bottle, The devil at hand you bought. That you don't recognize, Remember, a drunk man speaks sober thoughts.
