I found this song in my book of lyrics the other day and I decided to work on it for the first time in 7 months.The song reflects something that happened to a former bandmates dad who discovered that his wife was cheating on him so he flew out to America and gradualy became an alcoholic.He had 2 car crashes before he was discovered dead in his hotel room,he died of too much alcohol intake. Drinking My Life Away You Betrayed all of my trust And went to another guy You thought that I was in the dark But I saw you two with my eyes I saw you kissing him I saw you ripping off his clothes So I just turned and left And hit my journey down the road And here I am now Hitting shots in a motel And I'll drink my memories away Until we meet in hell I loved you But now I hate you How could you do this to me? So now I rid of These memories of you By drinking my life away Dinking my life away They said I was lucky to be alive After the crash I got a broken skull and blood clot And 3rd degree wiplash But all of these wounds They're nothing compared to the pain Of seeing you breaking my heart And throwing my life away And now I'm prescribed All these pills to be able to cope So I'll swallow them tonight with A glass of vodka and coke I loved you But now I hate You How could you do this to me? So now I rid These memories of you By drinking my life away All this time I was a puppet In your little game of betrayal Its just too bad the secrets game Miserably failed And now death waits for me The next drink driving case will finish me And now death waits for me The next drink driving case will finish me And now death waits for me The next drink will finish me And now death waits for me Just one more look at you will finish me! I loved you But now I hate you How could you do this to me? So now I rid These memories of you By drinking my life away I Loved You But Now I Hate You I Can't Believe you did this to me (I thought we were meant to be) So now I rid of These memories of you and me By drinking my life away By drinking my life away Because Of You
Some really nice rhyming in there. It's interesting to read. I do feel very sorry for that guy. Must've been hard.
poor man nice work but i must say that i think you make make it even more better with some finishing touches or just leave it the way it is if you feel like that keep it up
I feel sorry for the guy as well, though he didn't have to throw his life away. Anyway, back to the song, quite good, i found 1 or 2 spots where the flow was dissrupted a bit but other than that i quite liked it. Very touching and especially to know it's a true story, great work.
