Losing You To Beer

(Verse 1)

Six months, you were somebody new

A man I could run to, a love that felt true

You held me close, laughed with the kids

Did all the things you never did

I swore I saw forever in your eyes

The new year started off with that same old you—late nights and drinks ’til you fall asleep

(Chorus)

Now I flinch when I hear the can crack

Every muscle tenses, waiting for impact

You don’t even see what you do to me

Trading love for another drink

You don’t even see me fade from view

And I wonder if I’m losing you to beer or if I ever even had you

(Verse 2)

You never say sober, just cutting back

So when you fall, it’s not a collapse

It’s just the way things always were

And my dreams for you are just absurd

But I remember the man who lit up the room

Now he’s drowning in bottles, losing the truth

(Chorus)

Now I flinch when I hear the can crack

Every muscle tenses, waiting for impact

You don’t even see what you do to me

Trading love for another drink

You don’t even see me fade from view

And I wonder if I’m losing you to beer or if I ever even had you

(Bridge)

Three nights dry and I bite my tongue

Hoping maybe this time it sticks

But you tell me straight, this ain’t forever

Just a break, just a trick

And I swear I feel my heart cave in

Knowing I’ll never win

(Chorus/Outro)

Now I flinch when I hear the can crack

Every muscle tenses, waiting for impact

You don’t even see what you do to me

Trading love for another drink

You don’t even see me fade from view

And I wonder if I’m losing you to beer or if I ever even had you
