Drink Alone by Ringlefinch Lyrics

[Verse]
Mot juste, the perfect word, it’s one of those tricks I never learned
Like Charleston, bridge, bodyshots or Go
So let there be no pontification here
The man who owns the dice owns every throw

[Pre-Chorus]
No, nobody else can make you realize
The naked truth slow-dancing right before your eyes

[Chorus]
Knowing you like I do
You’re thinking this time you’re through
One thing I know is true
Sometimes you got to drink alone

[Verse]
When something’s got to give, when you’re tearing yourself apart
A little silence can be hard to come by
Some find theirs in temperance and austerity
Brother, that’s not the only way to fly
[Pre-Chorus]
They say "Demon drink makes every man his fool"
But if nobody winds up getting hurt and it works for you then [Hey!] that’s cool

[Chorus]
Knowing you like I do
You’re thinking this time you’re through
You beat me black I’ll beat you blue
Sometimes you got to drink alone

Seeing what you seen, and
Being who you been
Go lick those wounds all nice and clean
Sometimes you got to drink alone

{Instrumental Bridge}

[Chorus]
Knowing you like I do
I know that this time you’re through
She may have been your Betty Blue
Sometimes you got to drink alone

Seeing what you seen, and
Being who you been
I can’t say I disagree...
Sometimes you got to drink alone
