Dear Alcohol (Extended)

[Chorus: Dax] I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize I got wasted I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize I got wasted [Verse 1: Dax] Repeat the cycle every day, I gotta start with a drink My life been getting sorta crazy and I don't wanna think I look myself right in the mirror and I don't even blink Then I get angry, take the rest and pour it right in the sink I know where this road goеs Alcohol ain't my friend, but I keep drinkin' 'cause thesе demons roam And follow me 'round everywhere I go It clouds my mind and soul, it turns my heart cold But I keep drinkin' 'cause it makes me feel like I'm not alone I'm havin' problems, my pride won't let me reach out Lookin' at this bottle, havin' nothin' but doubt Don't wanna drink, but it keeps comin' around and around and around [Chorus: Dax] I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize I got wasted I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize I got wasted [Verse 2: Elle King] Another mornin' when my memory's wavy Don't hate me, I got you faded again I try to fight it, but the loneliness breaks me Can you blame me? The bottle's been my friend It's gotta be sadistic, or maybe masochistic Every night I just stay twisted 'cause the only ones that listen Is that sativa and the Patrón and Casamigos I didn't mean to, but I need to [Chorus: Elle King] I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize I got wasted I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize I got wasted [Verse 3: Dax] I know I need to quit (I need to quit) I gotta do better (I gotta do better) Example to these kids (Example to these kids) 'Cause they watchin' when I'm in there, but I'm scared 'Cause I've been chasin' the man that I am when I start to drink He's cocky, confident and he don't give a damn what you think This world is beatin' me down, it has pushed me right to the brink I take a shot every time because man it helps me escape I'm takin' care of these people, but no one takes care of me I wanna talk to somebody, but I feel no one relates I need better now, I think I've lost my way I'm havin' battles with faith, it's painted right on my face I hope better times are comin', no chase but I'm still runnin' I gotta take control, and I won't stop for nothin' Dear God, this is my test, promise that I'll do my best Just help me with this pain I feel and pressure that is on my chest [Chorus: Dax & Elle King] I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize I got wasted I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize I got wasted [Outro: Elle King] I got wasted
