(Dan Messe)



When I was drinking

When I was with you

Living it up when the rent was due

With nothing and no one to live up to



You and me dying on the vine

Holding hands and drinking wine

Now I'm not the same girl I left behind with you



Twelve bars behind us

And twelve bars to go

Bottles of beer lined up in a row

One for each hour you didn't show



You and me dying everyday

Getting high just to pass away

But that's not the reason I couldn't stay with you



Now I am sober

Now I'm alone

Three years have gone by since you have gone

Letting you go

Letting me go on



But I'll raise a glass now to you and me

To lift me higher so I can see
