Lyrics

Sober

[Verse 1]

Look at me, I'm a mess, y'all

Ain't combed my hair in weeks

Low appetite, my mama's so worried 'bout me

My friends keep calling, asking if I need company

I say, "I'm okay, y'all, just let me be"

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I'm

Still going through withdrawals every now and then

Y'all bear with me (Ooh), 'cause I

Find time heals all wounds

I'll be good soon, I'll be me again

[Chorus]

I was once strung out on love

But now, I'm sober

Sober

Needed to rehab a bit

But now, I'm sober

He was my addiction, he was in my system

But now, I'm great, I'm straight (Ooh)

Must have been strung out on love

But now, I'm sober

Sober, sober (Sober, sober)

[Verse 2]

With every day, I grow stronger

I try to get back on my feet

It's difficult quitting something cold-turkey

The craving's there, still alive in me

Can't give up, this is how it has to be

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I'm

Still going through withdrawals every now and then

Y'all bear with me (Woo), 'cause I

Find time heals all wounds

I'll be good soon, I'll be me again

[Chorus]

I was once strung out on love

But now, I'm sober

Sober

Needed to rehab a bit (Needed to rehab a bit)

But now (Now), I'm sober

(Sober)

He was my addiction, he was in my system (Yeah)

But now, I'm great, I'm straight (Ooh)

Must have been strung out on love

But now, I'm sober

Sober, sober, sober, sober

[Bridge]

Loving him almost killed me

I was like a junkie

Trying to get my fix of

What I thought was love

Was really just a drug

I had to break myself from

[Chorus]

I was once strung out on love

But now, I'm sober

Sober

Needed to rehab a bit

But now, I'm sober

He was my addiction, he was in my system

But now, I'm great, I'm straight (Ooh)

Must have been strung out on love

But now, I'm sober

Sober, sober, sober, sober

I was once strung out on love

But now, I'm sober

Sober

Needed to rehab a bit

But now, I'm sober

He was my addiction, he was in my system

But now, I'm great, I'm straight (Ooh)

Must have been strung out on love

But now, I'm sober

Sober, sober, sober, sober
