The Sour Taste of Reality

(Verse 1)

Here’s the cold, hard truth, no way to dress it up

I got two men in my life, but I only love one

Sometimes I catch a glimpse—he’s kind, he’s strong

But he never stays too long

(Pre-Chorus)

I met him last year, six months of peace

Then the holidays came, and you sank so deep

One sip, and he’s ripped away

And I’m stuck with the mess you made

(Chorus)

You grumble, you yell, you tear through the night

You don’t even like yourself, so how could you love me right?

You hate me, you hate you, you hate this life

And if that’s not true, well, you sure do act like—

Like you’re drowning, dragging me down too

And I can’t keep saving you

(Verse 2)

Your words cut deep, sharper than glass

Your patience is gone, and your kindness don’t last

You say you need time, just a drink to unwind

But all I see is the love left behind

(Pre-Chorus)

Take a look around—does it look like home?

Or just another place where you’re drinking alone?

One sip, and you’re lost again

And I don’t know if you’ll ever come back

(Chorus)

You grumble, you yell, you tear through the night

You don’t even like yourself, so how could you love me right?

You hate me, you hate you, you hate this life

And if that’s not true, well, you sure do act like—

Like you’re drowning, dragging me down too

And I can’t keep saving you

(Bridge – emotional build-up)

The beer ain’t just killing you—it’s stealing you away

From everything you swore you’d never betray

You’re isolated, suffocated, and fading out so fucking fast

And I don’t know how much longer I’ll last

(Final Chorus – with more intensity)

You grumble, you yell, you tear through the night

You don’t even like yourself, so how could you love me right?

You hate me, you hate you, you hate this life

And if that’s not true, well, you sure do act like—

Like you’re drowning, dragging me down too

And I can’t keep saving you…

(Outro – softer, defeated tone)

One sip, and he’s gone again…

And I don’t know if I’ll wait for him this time
