Dear Alcohol - Tom MacDonald
[Verse 1]
Dear alcohol, I think that me and you should have a chat
It's been a while since we talked, so let me bring it back
I was sixteen, still in high school on the day that we first met
I knew that we'd be friends when I first held you in my hand
And pretty soon I'd sit wit' you inside my room and we'd forget
Tests at school and homies too and every problem that we had
You made me cool and all my dudes were jealous of the love we had
You needed me, I needed you, I felt like you were heaven-sent
[Chorus]
This is goodbye
We can't do this sh_t no more
We had some good times
But I'm not who I was before
[Verse 2]
Soon enough we'd hang out every weekend dealin' with my stress
Say goodnight and placed you right there on my table where I slept
I'd wake up, you'd be there for me right when I got out of bed
I think that's why you meant so much to me because you never left
And pretty quick you'd make me sick, I'd take a sip, you'd hurt my head
When I would drink you made me think 'bout all the things that I regret
From beer to rum to whiskey shots to anything that I could get
You used to give me life, but it was clear that you wanted me dead
[Chorus]
This is goodbye
We can't do this sh_t no more
We had some good times
But I'm not who I was before
[Verse 3]
Lately, I've been lookin' back at all the time we spent
Didn't know that hanging out wit' you is makin' me forget
I admit that I've been lonely since you chose to pack your bags
Sometimes I wanna call, but you know I can't take you back
And I can't lie, I never cried this many times over an ex
It blows my mind how hard I tried to make you treat me with respect
When things were right then it was nice, but when we'd fight my place got wrecked
Look in my eyes and say goodbye, it's awful but it's for the best
[Bridge]
Can't avoid you
See you every time I go out
I ignore you
But I really have to tell you now
[Chorus]
This is goodbye
We can't do this sh_t no more
We had some good times
But I'm not who I was before
This is goodbye
We can't do this sh_t no more
We had some good times
But I'm not who I was before
