You're Killing Me

I spent my last dollar on a bottle of amnesia
Just to find that it wore off the next day
And in my spinning head I wondered how many bottles it would take
Could I ever drink your memory away

Last night I thought I’d try a little harder to forget
Once the throbbing in my head was gone, I went to that old place
The one where we spent all those nights together ‘til you split
But I couldn’t drink enough to kick your memory

Chorus
It’s not the beer that’s got a hold on me
It’s the fear of all the memories
Rattling around until they drive me to my knees
So I’ll be at our old stompin’ ground
Where you won’t dare come back around
Believing that the hooch is saving me

Another night in that old bar, on my favorite corner stool
I saw a sight I thought I’d never see again
I caught you and that girl you chose above me strolling in
And I knew I’d never put that bottle down

Chorus
It’s not the beer that’s got a hold on me
It’s the fear of all the memories
Rattling around until they drive me to my knees
So I’m ditching our old stomping ground
Where you dared to come back around
Believing that the hooch is saving me

I hope you know that you’re the one that’s killing me
